EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution authorizing the Commission
Chairwoman to execute Deed Certificates for the sale of burial plots at Lake
Trafford Memorial Gardens Cemetery during the 2013 calendar year.
OBJECTIVE: To process Deed Certificates expeditiously during the 2013 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 or Chairwoman. 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 or
Chairwoman 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 Chairman or Chairwoman for execution.
Based upon historic sales data, 40 plot sales are projected during FY13 resulting in total
revenue of $15,009.
LEGAL CONSIDERATION: This item is legally sufficient and requires a majority vote for Board
approval. - JW
FISCAL IMPACT: 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 the
Chairwoman to execute the attached Resolution.
