Malm, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: 1994 Proposed Bluff City Cemetery Rates PURPOSE This memorandum presents information and recommendations from the Parks and Recreation Board regarding proposed 1994 ceme- tery rates. BACKGROUND Attached is a proposed 1994 fee schedule for cemetery rates, as approved by the Parks and Recreation Board at its November 30, 1993 meeting. An increase in fees was deemed necessary in order to cover costs associated with grounds maintenance, equipment and service. Rates proposed for 1994 represent increases of eight percent in services and three percent in sale of grave space. This compared with the 1993 increases of 12 percent and 3.7 per- cent, respectively. The attached rate chart reflects current charges for services at other cemeteries but does not include use of a tent, which City of Elgin charges do cover. Where similar services are considered, Elgin's rates fall within the cost range of other cemeteries surveyed. FINANCIAL IMPACT Approximately $15,600 will be generated from the rate increas- es. The Cemetery Operating Fund has had operating deficits for several years. Increased revenue from the sale of lots in 1994 is expected in the budget to begin rectifying this situation. The 1994 cemetery budget also includes an $80,000 transfer from the General Fund. LEGAL IMPACT None. 1994 Proposed Bluff City Cemetery Rates March 2, 1994 Page 2 rik RECOMMENDATION The Parks and Recreation Board recommends City Council approv- al of the proposed 1994 Bluff City Cemetery rates.
