EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution authorizing the Board of County Commissioners'
Chairperson to execute Deed Certificates for the sale of burial plots at Lake Trafford Memorial
Gardens Cemetery during the 2016 calendar year, on behalf of the Administrative Services
Department.
OBJECTIVE: To process Deed Certificates expeditiously during the 2016 calendar year.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County established Lake Trafford Cemetery in December 1964 on 20
acres, off Little League Road in Immokalee. The Cemetery was used exclusively for indigent burials
until it was opened to the public in 1982. The Board formally adopted a cemetery operations policy in
July 1982 under Resolution 82-105. Real Property Management Section of the Facilities Management
Department, under the auspices of the Administrative Services Department Head, is responsible for the
daily administration of the Cemetery, which includes preparing and processing Deed Certificates for the
sale of burial plots to the public.
Deed Certificates require execution by the Board Chairperson. In order to expedite the administrative
process and relieve Commissioners of having to review each document,the Board has since,on an annual
basis, granted its current Chairperson the authority to execute Deed Certificates on the Board's behalf
without further approval required.
Deed Certificates are reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office prior to being transmitted
n to the Chairperson for execution.
FISCAL IMPACT: Based upon historic sales data,52 plot sales are projected during FY 16 resulting in
a total anticipated revenue of$19,000. All proceeds from plot sales are deposited in the Lake Trafford
Memorial Gardens' General Fund Account(001).
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires a majority
vote for Board approval-JAB
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact on the County's long-range planning
effort.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves and authorizes its
Chairperson to execute the attached Resolution.
