Court reviews coroner request to raise indigent funeral assistance

Court members discussed a coroner's office request to adjust the county's indigent fund reimbursement for funerals and cremations. The judge summarized the packet item and noted the coroner wishes to raise the reimbursement (transcript text records 'from 500 to $7.50' — the court requested clarification of the correct dollar amounts).

The judge and other members agreed there is a need to reflect current cremation and funeral costs; the court indicated consent in principle but deferred precise dollar-figure implementation to staff and documentation. No formal separate motion or ordinance amount was recorded in the transcript beyond discussion and general agreement.
