Resolution No. 2017-43 — Cemetery Fee Changes
As previously referenced in the memo attached to Ordinance No. 2969-2017, the Finance

regulations for the Cemetery. As a part of the review, they completed a market study of all fees
for the cemetery and it was discovered that the City's fees were significantly under market rates.
The information was provided to the Parks & Recreation Commission and, at their meeting of
March 2, 2017, recommended several amendments and fee increases. The Clerk's Office has
prepared the amendments to the fee schedule, as recommended by the Parks & Recreation
Commission, for your consideration and adoption, together with the enactment of Ordinance No.
2969-2017.
Your consideration is appreciated
