Sullivan City is addressing cemetery violations as over 100 burial plots have unauthorized changes, including markers and structures encroaching on neighboring plots. City Manager Richard Ozuna reported that 36 warning letters have been sent, with 21 families already complying. Each plot is limited to 3.5 by 9 feet, and seven concrete plots have been identified, which are against regulations. Families have one week to rectify the violations before facing fines of up to $500. Local resident Francisco Garza expressed frustration over a bench near his mother-in-law's grave, complicating visits. A banner has been placed at the cemetery to remind residents of the rules.
