(b) The owner of a lot with monument privileges shall be entitled to place a monument on the lot; provided, however, the location or arrangement of the monument shall be directed by the city, and failure of the owner to abide by the decision of the city concerning the location or arrangement of the monument shall constitute a forfeiture of the right of the owner to place such monument upon the lot.

The charges prescribed by this section may be adjusted from time to time when it is determined by the city council, upon the advice of the trustees of such fund that the adjustment of such charges should be made in order to ensure financial stability and efficiency of operation of the permanent care cemetery.
