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, which has been amended several times since. Real Property Management Section of the Facilities
Management Division, under the auspices of the County Manager, is responsible for operation of the Cemetery,
which includes preparing and processing Deed Certificates indicating plot location, after the sale of burial rights to
the public.
Twenty-one (21) Deed certificates have been purchased. This item is to authorize processing of those Deed
Certificates and recognize the revenue.
FISCAL IMPACT: Proceeds of $7,826 were received for twenty-one (21) deeds, consisting of $7,500 for plot
sales and $326 for doc stamps and recording fees. One (1) additional deed is a Claim ed Pre-Need. Plot sale
receipts are deposited in General Fund (0001), Immokalee Cemetery Cost Center 122370.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact on the County’s long-range planning effort.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires a majority vote for
Board approval - RTT
