Any person desiring to reserve any plot or plots may do so by applying to the city clerk and designating on the cemetery map the location of the plots to be reserved. Those desiring to reserve plots for future use shall pay the charge for perpetual care as then determined by the board of councilmen within one year from the date of reservation of the plots, or at the opening of the grave, whichever date occurs first. The application to the city clerk for the reservation of a plot or plots as specified herein shall be accompanied by at least ten percent (10%) of the total amount due for perpetual care, and the balance, if any, shall be paid for in at least twelve (12) equal monthly installments. Failure to pay perpetual care charge in one year from date of application with the clerk shall result in a forfeiture of the monies paid and shall cancel the application and reservations of the individual or individuals so applying. The fee for opening and closing the grave can be paid for in advance or can be deferred until the date of opening the grave. (Ord. 61, 12-9-1970)
