Assistant County Attorney Victor advised the court that he has reviewed the request to relocate the cemetery located at 9900 Bakers Lane, Union, Kentucky, as requested by Mr. & Mrs. Ricky W. Snatchko. He further advised the Fiscal Court has the discretion to deny or grant the request and referred to the applicable Kentucky Revised Statute.
