Agenda 04/22/2014 Item #16E2 4/22/2014 16.E.2.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution authorizing the Chairman to execute
Deed Certificates for the sale of burial plots at Lake Trafford Memorial Gardens

OBJECTIVE: To process Deed Certificates expeditiously during the 2014 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 Chairman. 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 the current Chairman the authority to
execute Deed Certificates on the Board's behalf without further approval required.
n Deed Certificates are reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office prior to
being transmitted to the Chairman for execution.
LEGAL CONSIDERATION: This item has been approved for form and legality and
requires a majority vote for Board approval. - JAB
FISCAL IMPACT: Based upon historic sales data, 40 plot sales are projected during
FY13-14 resulting in total revenue of $15,000. All proceeds from plot sales are
deposited in the Immokalee Cemetery Fund Center (122370) 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 the Chairman to execute the attached Resolution.
