FROM: Robert O. 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.
