();. ~~-::r- '3~ Subject: CEMETERY TARIFF OF RATES Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1 . THAT Report CPD-OOB-O? be received; 2. THAT the proposed tariff of rates as outlined on attachment 1,2, 3,4 be approved; and 3. THAT the proposed tariff of rates as outlined be forwarded to the Ministry of Government Services for approval. Submitted by: oath ~ .M.R, RRF.A. Director of Operations Reviewed bY:~ ~ anklin Wu, { Chief Administrative Officer REPORT NO. OPD-00B-07 PAGE 2 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: The Operations Department maintains Bowmanville, Bondhead, and St. Georges Cemetery. It should be noted that the Municipality took complete ownership of St. Georges in April, 2006. The proposed tariff of fees and rates identifies the fees that are charged for interment rights and cemetery services. The interment rights and cemetery services include plot, lot, and niche purchases, interments, disinterments, installation of foundations, headstones/footstones and other administrative costs as outlined. The Cemeteries Act (Revised) RSO 1190,c.C.4 section 35 states that every cemetery owner who sell, assigns or transfers interment rights shall establish a trust fund for the purpose of providing money for the care and maintenance of the cemetery. The perpetual care fund, according to the act is used for the upkeep of the cemetery, the markers, and all the structures in the cemetery. Forty percent of all fees collected are placed in this fund. Staff is recommending a multi-year fee increase, similar to our sports fields rates and fees that were approved earlier this year for cemetery services. The 2007 will take effect on September 1,2007 to allow time for Ministry approval. The following year's increases will take effect on July 1 for 200B, 2009 and 2010. As a result of correspondence directed by Council to staff, the possibility of a memorial butterfly friendly garden is being considered. The preferred site of this garden is Bowmanville Cemetery. Volunteers and staff will be finalizing the plans and submitting them to the Ministry of Government Services for review and approval. Staff will be reporting further on costs, donations, installation and co-ordination of maintenance. I:\GPA REPORTS 2007\OPD-008-07; Cemetery Tariffs and Rates.doc REPORT NO. OPO-OOB-O?
