The Michigan City Board of Cemetery Trustees met on November 12, 2026, at Swan Lake Royal Gardens. The board approved the prior meeting minutes and financial report, then voted to approve bills as presented. The bills included an $8,911 snowplow purchase from Rigs, which members said had been approved at the previous meeting, and a part for a truck from Michigan City Ford. No new contract award or competitive procurement was reported. The superintendent also noted that a city guardrail installation at a cemetery intersection was considered but deemed cost-prohibitive at about $16,000; staff instead completed repairs to the fence and concrete pillars with assistance from city departments.

Other updates included purchasing literature display racks for cemetery offices, completing most of a sign-painting project, and preparing a public green-burial flyer and related signage. A presentation from a planning firm on master planning was deferred until the board has all members in place. The board discussed a proposed ordinance change to broaden eligibility for board membership, but no ordinance action or vote was reported. The superintendent’s report was accepted, and the meeting adjourned.
