<br />. Ongoing maintenance (annual) $72,865 <br />Includes weed control, mowing, edging and fertilizing, trash disposal, tree trimming, water <br />and power, misc. repairs, graffiti removal, rodent control, etc. <br /> <br />As noted above, these estimates are not actual quotes. Removal of the original entrance road <br />and re-installation of fence are included in this estimate but roadway maintenance, on-site <br />structure removal or other actions that may become necessary or desired are not. <br /> <br />The same liability would be assumed as with Option 2 and the same arrangements with the <br />Diocese of Oakland would be needed to accommodate the remaining service needs. <br />Maintenance standards would not necessarily need to be documented via ordinance. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL ISSUES RELATED TO ACQUISITION <br /> <br />With acquisition, there are two other issues to be considered -possible expansion and <br />governance structure. <br /> <br />. Possible Expansion. The cemetery has undeveloped land that could be engineered to <br />hold 500 double plots for an additional 1000 interments. An urn garden could add <br />additional capacity since they need only 2 square feet each. (More information about <br />the expansion opportunity is included on page 21 of the report.) However, expansion <br />would be associated more with an active cemetery versus an attempt to curtail burial <br />activities in favor of maintaining a historic site. No cost estimates have been generated <br />at this time. <br /> <br />. Governance Structure. A number of structures are possible and several examples <br />follow: <br /> <br />A. The Pleasanton Pioneer Cemetery, Inc., would like to be appointed as a Board of <br />Trustees. They believe they could attract contributions from other agencies, <br />community groups and companies through donations, grants, and in-kind <br />services and products. They have a vision for the site as an educational and <br />historical amenity for Pleasanton residents since the cemetery has a long history <br />and many of the City's founders are buried there. They could contract for the <br />maintenance (with City grant funds) or the City could manage maintenance <br />directly. <br /> <br />B. A separate oversight board could be established to oversee the cemetery's <br />operations. Council would appoint members of various stakeholder groups (i.e., <br />members of Pleasanton Pioneer Cemetery, Inc., the VFW group, the Historical <br />Museum, etc.) to serve on the board for a specific term.
