Resolution No. 2018-54 -Memorial Marker Fees
The purpose of this memo is to recommend passage of Resolution No. 2018-54, which amends the
comprehensive schedule of rates, charges, and fees , to align with the revised pricing structure our
vendor has provided us with .
In the past, the fee had been calculated by letters, shipping, and proof. On September 25, we
were notified that the new pricing structure is a flat $350 rate for the name, date, epitaph, stock
art, proof, and shipping , and photos or non -stock art would be an additional cost. We have always
tried to capture the actual cost in our fee schedule and as such, I am recommending the change
to indicate that the fee will be the actual cost.
Your support is appreciated.
