Values upon all unsold lots in the City Cemetery and additions thereto are fixed and established as hereinafter set by resolution and are open to public inspection in the office of the City Clerk. Conveyance of burial lots shall be made by deed from the city to the purchaser, which deed shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder. No title to any cemetery grave site, or portion thereof, shall be transferred by the owner thereof, except as authorized by M.S. § 306.29, as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time. Whenever the title to any cemetery lot, or any portion thereof, is to be transferred by the owner thereof, the city shall have the first right to repurchase the same by paying to the owner the price originally paid to the city therefor; provided, however, that this right of repurchase by the city shall not apply when a conveyance is made to the city for the purpose of transferring title in turn to a spouse, sister or brother of the owner, or to a descendant of the owner or a descendant of the owner’s spouse, sister or brother. Repurchase by the city under all other circumstances not otherwise specified herein, shall be in accordance with provisions of M.S. Chapter 306, as supplemented or amended from time to time, the price to be paid, however, not to exceed that originally paid to the city. The Council shall also, from time to time, determine the rental price for space in the City Mausoleum.
