Probably because the cemetery doesn't effect their bottom line. You can't make money from the dead,unless of course your in the funeral business.

The Middletown Cemetery Vault was built about 1870
I have found no records of any repairs to the vault since 1947.
The Miltonville Cemetery Vault was built in 1882 by the same stone mason and still has the original slate roof, cupola and steel doors.

The only reason for the current condition of the vault at the Middletown Cemetery is years of utter neglect by the City.

Vet - Nothing this city does makes any sense. When is the last time the city passed an ordinance or actually done something that benefited someone besides themselves ?]]> Tue, 14 Sep 2010 08:50:19 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3279&PID=21321&title=cemetery-board#21321 Cemetery Board : It is not logical to me to have... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3279&PID=21319&title=cemetery-board#21319 Author: VietVet

It is not logical to me to have a group of citizens that want to volunteer their time to take care of a city responsibility like the cemetery, and then have Council and the city manager shut the door on them when they try to help the city out. If I were on council, I would welcome any and all private citizen efforts to help the city accomplish things like this and do my best to support them. It doesn't make any sense for the city to fight the people. What would be the purpose in this? ......to show who's boss? To keep people in line?...... If so, how childish (and ignorant)]]> Tue, 14 Sep 2010 06:24:07 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3279&PID=21319&title=cemetery-board#21319 Cemetery Board : TangoProblems at the cemetery... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3279&PID=21317&title=cemetery-board#21317 Author: Vivian Moon

Tango
Problems at the cemetery have been going on for years. The families have been complaining about the condition of the grounds and downed stones for years.
In 1995 a group started working on the cemetery and the City didn’t carry through with the plan.
I informed the City in 2005 that the Middletown Cemetery was not in compliance with ORC 4767.06 and for the past five years I have worked to accomplish this goal. However at some point the City needs to step up take responsibility and do the right thing.

Vivian I COMMEND you and your efforts. But this is the cities responsibility. All communities have this problem they deal with it and not create new boards . One council member said at the last meeting that this board might be better at running the cemetery than council. If he really feels this way maybe he should not be on council. That's just an excuse to keep from making hard decisions. Most important have some respect and morals (council)]]> Sun, 12 Sep 2010 19:21:56 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3279&PID=21284&title=cemetery-board#21284 Cemetery Board : Probably because the cemetery... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3279&PID=21283&title=cemetery-board#21283 Author: Hermes

Here's an interesting point:
With all of the prominent people who claim to have such a deep-seated love of history in this city, why is it that we never hear from them when the issue of of this HISTORIC Pioneer Cemetery arises?
 
Whenever "historic" S. Main Street, "historic" downtown, or "historic" Highlands is the subject, we always hear from a veritable parade of high-minded citizens in near hysterics demanding preservation, restoration, funding, city action or whatever else is the cause of the day. 
 
Yet, when this most HISTORIC of all sites in Middletown is the subject, nary a peep out of any of these leading citizens, unless it is in opposition!!!  Why is that???
 
ANYONE???

According to Middletown's Codified Ordinances:
 
"§ 260.03 RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT.

Every member of any City board or commission shall be a resident of the City."

However, this administration sometimes seems to appoint whomever they wish to appoint.
