Agenda 02/24/2015 Item #16E1 2/24/2015 16.E.1.
n EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution authorizing the Chair to execute Deed
Certificates for the sale of burial plots at Lake Trafford Memorial Gardens Cemetery
during the 2015 calendar year.
OBJECTIVE: To process Deed Certificates expeditiously during the 2015 calendar year.
CONSIDERATION: 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
Administrator, 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 to the Chairperson for execution.
n
LEGAL CONSIDERATION: This item is legally sufficient and requires a majority vote for Board
approval-JAB
FISCAL IMPACT: Based upon historic sales data, 50 plot sales are projected during FY 15
resulting in total anticipated revenue of $18,250.00. All proceeds from plot sales are deposited
in the Lake Trafford Memorial Gardens' General Fund Account(001).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT: 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.
