SR 07-12-2011 3J (2)City Council Meeting: July 12, 2011
Agenda Item: 3~
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Martin Pastucha, Director of Public Works
Subject: Cemetery and Mortuary Prices Resolution
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving
Cemetery and Mortuary prices.
Executive Summary
For many years, Council has set prices for individual items at the Cemetery by
resolution. The numerous resolutions have made it challenging for staff to easily track
the Council authority for the established prices. This report seeks to establish one
comprehensive resolution and consolidated price schedule of all Cemetery and
Mortuary prices. The resolution also contains prices for newly developed interment
spaces and additional mortuary services to be offered.
Discussion
The attached resolution is a consolidation of various Cemetery resolutions previously
adopted as well as the addition of prices for newly developed cremation niche spaces
and additional mortuary options. The resolution, if adopted, would provide for a
comprehensive Cemetery and Mortuary price schedule, which was the recommendation
of a recent audit of the cemetery operations completed on April 5, 2011. The new
mortuary prices and additional cremation niche spaces will provide customers with
additional options that would generate additional revenue over time to help the
Cemetery become financially sustainable.
This resolution does -not reflect any increase in prices currently charged for services at
the Cemetery. The price for direct cremation is being decreased in an effort to be more
competitive and capture a greater market share. Additional mortuary services are being
1
offered, as listed in the Resolution, to provide the public with more options and to
simplify the funeral arrangement process for grieving family members.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
The projected revenue from the new mortuary prices and additional cremation niche
spaces was included in the FY2011-13 budget.
