• Location of New Plots: Burials would occur in the expanded area of the Cemetery only (as described above). This area would have pre-installed, full- size double-depth vaults for remains, as well as smaller plots for cremains. The exact location of each plot would be determined after site surveying. • New Plot Sales: Only plots in the new location would be available for purchase, and would be limited to no more than two (2) per family. • Payment Prior to Rendering Services: All client payments for plots and related services should be received prior to services being rendered. Payment plans could be made available, if the City Council wanted to provide that option. In that case, full payment would be required within two (2) years. • Disposition of Non-Needed Plots: Pre-paid plots that are no longer wanted or needed could be sold back to the City for the original purchase price. Owners could also donate plot/niches back to the City, with the owner allowed to deduct the full market value on their tax return. • Number of Individuals Allowed Per Plot: Staff recommends no more than four (4) individuals be buried in one plot, with no more than two (2) caskets per plot. • Burial of Others: Plot owners could allow someone else to be buried in their plot, but must notify the City (via CFCS) in advance of the burial. • Sale of Plots by Owners: Owners would not be allowed to sell plots to another party without advance approval of the City (via CFCS). • Fee Review: Similar to Callippe Preserve Golf Course, City fees for the Cemetery would be reviewed annually by the Parks and Recreation Commission, to reflect market conditions and inflationary factors. The Commission reviewed and recommended approval of the proposed fees for FY09. • Contractor for Cemetery Services: The Cemetery contractor (CFCS) would manage the database of burials, handle plot sales, and related funeral services under contract with the City. The City would receive an electronic copy of the updated database after each sale or burial. All plot related costs would be reflected in the purchase price, including burial fees for two (2) individuals. Preferred services would be the responsibility of each individual owner. • Grave Markers and Flower Cups in New Plot Area: One flat headstone per grave would be allowed, providing a more dignified, park-like setting, and to facilitate on-going maintenance. As part of the expansion, in-ground flower cups would be installed. This would provide a location for families to leave memorial items, and be the only type of items permitted. • Additional Policies: The City Manager or Director of Parks and Community Services would be responsible for establishing and implementing additional Page 5 of 6
