The Johnson County Cemetery District Board has again voted to keep the $400 Saturday Burial Fee.
During their regular meeting Tuesday, the board was presented with another 1,000-plus signatures from community members that want to see the fee rescinded, bringing the total number of signatures to well over 1,400 according to discussions.
Board member Craig Wetterlund made a motion to rescind the fee and also wanted to make a motion to repay all fees that have been paid so far.
The eight-member board voted on the motion, with four voting for and three against rescinding the fee.
Chairman John Zorbas cast the final vote against, and the motion failed because of the tie vote.
