St is understood that it is the desire of the City Council to consider the acquisition of that portion of the land shown on the approved master plan for cemetery expansion extending from, 14th Court to 15th Court between Delaware Avenue and 3sdchigan Avenue, and to improve a portion of said land using the :18,465 provided in the 1950-1951 cemetery budget. This portion of the master plan has been designated Plan 3-A. The attached Appendix 'st~ee sho~rs that the estimated cost for the im- provement of said land is X32 3 0 which includes clearing, grading, sprinkler system, planting, fencing, administration office, and alley eor_struction. An appraisal has just been completed by Charles Ashford and Leslie Clancy-indicating the net cost of acquisition to the City will be in the neighborhood of X130,000 less salvage to be derived from the acquired improve- ±nents. Appendix "~~" gives a detailed summary of estimated arsxual revenues and expenses for the proposed expansion of 'v`'doodlawn Cemetery under Flan 3-A. This plan contemplates the borrowing of X90,000 from the perpetual care fund to initiate_the acquisition of land needed for plan 3-A; said funds to be paid back into the perpetual care fund plus interest at 3% from revenues de- rived through the operation of the expanded cemetery curing the 12_ysar period. The economic analysis shown in Appendix "IV et is based upon establish- ' ing by ordinance of the City Cduncil an average rate of ','3.15 per square foot for land to be sold for graves and a rate of X1.60 per souare foot of land sold for graves to be deposited in the perpetual care fund. It should also be point- ed out that this analysis is based upon current ecsts for labor and material and in order to hedge against any inflation that may occur it would be necessary to increase the cost of land for graves, interment costs, and amount to be charg- ed for perpetual care, by a sufficient amount to meet these increased costs; dtherv:ise, the expansion .could not remain on an economically sound basis® 1IVRITE IT ___ D®N'T SAY IT Date: Septsmbsr 22, 1950 Page .taro To: Citzj Council (through City banager) erom: Director of sublic ,7orks and City Engineer Subject: Proposed Cemetery Expansion It is estimated that an average of 550 graves per year rriil be sold during the 12-year periods ~ revise of the past ants rent record at ',Yoodlawn from 1933 to 1950 indicates that t::is estimate is conservative. You i~rill note it has been estimated that the expansion under Plan 3-31 4vi11 result in a net cost to the City at the end of 12 years of anproxi- ~matsly X15,000. This is due to the fact that the rates for sale of Land for graves and perpetual care have hesn set at values to result in a break-oven venture after further expansion of the cemetery to 17th Street and operation for a 30-year period, ~~~~ .; _ ICE ~s:. i~L'VG D rector of Public ~"± ks and City Enginser %~f s attachments nPP~.F;DIx r,~ YR3LIT,4IivI ~Y GOST r:STIi~1'T`r. i~ OR GS'ETni3Y ~RPn?iSIOId - I'Lk~d asp APitIL9 1oj50 .
