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. Prepared by: Virgil A.
