Submitted by: ~ Reviewed by: Fred ank in Wu, B.A , .M.R., R. R. F.A. ~ Chief Administrative Officer Direct of Operations FH/BG/cv REPORT NO. OPD-005-11 1.0 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT PAGE 2 The Operations Department currently maintains three active cemeteries, Bowmanville, Bondhead, and St. Georges. 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 sells, 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. The following charts indicate the number of interments that have occurred for the past 3 years: Bowmanville Cemetery Regular Burials Cremations 2008 89 67 2009 55 66 2010 60 66 Bondhead Cemetery Regular burials Cremations 2008 7 12 2009 g g 2010 5 21 1:1GPA REPORTS 201110PD-0OS-11; CEMETERY TARIFF OF RATES FOR 2011 TO 2014.docx REPORT NO. OPD-005-11 PAGE 3 St. George's Cemetery Regular Burials Cremations 2008 3 5 2009 2 2 2010 2 2 Staff continues to review existing fees and services as well comparing these to our neighbouring Municipalities, and is again recommending amulti-year fee increase. The current tariff of rates is provided as Attachment No. 1. The 2011 increase would take effect no later than July 1st, 2011, subject to Ministry approval. The following year's increases will take effect on January 1st for 2012, 2013 and 2014. 2.0 FUTURE PLANS Staff has estimated that at the current rate of interments, the Bowmanville Cemetery will be at capacity in 2 to 5 years. The first Columbarium was introduced to Bowmanville Cemetery in 2005 and has 80 Niches. A second identical Columbarium was added in 2010. The first Columbarium is completely full and over 25% of the second has been sold. Estimates are that the second Columbarium will be at capacity in 2 to 4 years. There have been requests and the numbers indicate that a Columbarium should also be installed at Bondhead Cemetery. Staff will be requesting funds in the 2012 budget to include engineering for a four block expansion of the Bowmanville Cemetery which will provide an additional 2000 interment sites and a scattering ground to provide another alternative interment option. Funds will also be requested for an additional Columbarium at Bowmanville and a new Columbarium at Bondhead Cemetery.
