REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF CEMETERY RULES & REGULATIONS:
The Cemetery rules and regulations were reviewed by the
Committee. See the revised rules and regulations attached. The
major change was to delete the portion on annual care and
perpetual care payments. City should discontinue collecting
these fees.
It was discussed by the Committee to increase the price of
iscemetery spaces. Staff is to do a survey with other cemeteries.
Fred Gaines made a motion to recommend to the City Commission to
increase the price of burial spaces to $575.00. Cost of cremation
spaces and baby spaces should remain at present rates. Seconded
by Patricia Speer. PASSED.
The Committee also discussed Perpetual Cemetery Care and Annual
Care. The Committee recommended that fees for both Annual Care
and Perpetual Care be deleted from the rules and regulations due
to the fact- that all cemetery spaces get the same care whether
this fee is paid or not.
