953.01 FEES FOR GRAVES.

   The price of graves in the Municipal Cemetery shall be four hundred fifty dollars ($450.00) for Rows II through PP and three hundred dollars ($300.00) for Rows AA through HH, and for any other grave space not specifically identified herein, and shall be available only to residents of the City who have maintained residence in the City for at least five consecutive years. However, former residents of the City may purchase grave space at the same price per grave provided the former resident is able to prove past City residency of at least five consecutive years. The burden to prove the residence requirement herein shall be on the person seeking to purchase a grave site. In addition to the purchase price, any purchaser shall pay to the City an administrative fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per grave. No burial shall be permitted in the Municipal Cemetery until the grave space purchase price has been paid to the Finance Director. All sales of grave space, irrespective of when made, are subject to the condition that a resale, transfer or assignment is expressly prohibited, unless and until the City, through its Finance Director, is given the first option to repurchase such grave space, at a price which is ninety percent (90%) of the actual price paid for the grave space with the difference being attributable to administrative expense. An administrative fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) shall be paid to the City upon any resale, transfer or assignment to any person eligible to purchase a grave herein. This condition shall be expressly stated in all receipts or documents of sale made from and after the date hereof.
