Cemetery Board Appoints Members, Hires Sexton

The Johnson County Cemetery District Board, in a special meeting Wednesday afternoon, appointed two new board members and hired a new sexton.

During the meeting, Board President Luke Goddard explained that they had received two letters of interest from the public for the two openings on the board, one from Bob Hancock and another from Kassie Spiering.

Both were approved to sit on the board.

They will take the seats vacated by former board members John Hansen and David Moates.

The board also entered into an executive session to conduct an interview with a potential new employee.

After the executive session, the board re-entered the special meeting and announced they would extend an offer of employment to Shawn Sullivan as the new sexton for Willow Grove Cemetery, which he accepted.
