Appeal of Rule R161:18.08, August 16, 2018

On August 2, 2018, Rule R161:18.08 is posted at the City Clerk’s Office, announcing the final adoption of “Rules for Cemeteries Owned and Operated by the City of Austin” by the Director of PARD.  At an August 13, 2018, meeting with a group of stakeholders Kimberly NcNeeley, the acting director of PARD, and Anthony Segura, assistant director, stated that an incorrect version of the rules was adopted and posted. They said that while they would investigate how to withdraw the rules, they also recommended that the stakeholders file appeals regarding the adoption of the rules with the City Clerk’s Office. After numerous appeals were filed by stakeholders, on August 31, 2018, Rule No. R161-18.08 is withdrawn. This is a copy of the appeal I filed with the City Clerk.
