In the bylaws and regulations, the Service Director may declare the amount of money he or she will accept as a permanent fund for the perpetual care of the lot or lots designated. He or she shall pledge the faith and credit of the City for such perpetual care, using only the interest or income of the money.

The Service Director shall report quarterly to Council all moneys received and disbursed by him or her for such perpetual care and shall make an annual report on the first Monday of January of each year.
