If the owner or purchaser of any lot, on which no burial has taken place, desires to sell the same, he or she shall inform the city finance officer of his or her desire to sell, whereupon the city shall have an option for thirty (30) days thereafter to purchase the property on the basis of the regular selling price by the city of lots in the same section or block. If the option is not exercised by the city, the owner or purchaser may then sell to any other person. However, no lot shall be sold for a price greater than that originally paid to the city for that lot. No transfer or assignment of any lot, or interest therein, shall be valid without the consent of the city finance officer. No person shall buy or sell any lot within the cemetery for purposes of speculation. In the event any lot is purchased by the city, pursuant to the option mentioned in this section, the city finance officer shall ascertain that the owner has clear right to the same before the purchase is made.
