Agenda 03/12/2019 Item #16C403/12/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution authorizing the Chairperson to execute Deed Certificates
for the sale of burial plots at Lake Trafford Memorial Gardens Cemetery during the 2019 calendar
year, on behalf of the County Manager.
OBJECTIVE: To process Deed Certificates expeditiously during the 2019 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
Division, under the auspices of the County Manager, 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 from 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.
Based upon historic sales data, 57 plot sales are projected during FY18-19, resulting in a total anticipated
revenue of $20,875.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact from this action. All proceeds from plot sales are
deposited in the Lake Trafford Memorial Gardens’ General Fund Account (001).
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 - JAB
RECOMMENDATION: To approve and authorize the Chairperson to execute the attached Resolution.
