The city owns property south of the cemetery which has been promised to the cemetery with the clause, "when it is needed." I feel we have reached that need now. We have 131 grave spaces left. There has been a mora torium placed on the purchase of graves allowing people with an immediate need because of death to purchase a limit of two graves. The City Council has raised the price of a grave space to $800 with the hope this would offset the cost of a new cemetery. The city owns the property south of the cemetery. There is at present a space 320-feet by 320-feet which is in grass with a sprinkling system. Approximately 2,500 graves could be plotted out in this space. Turning this property into cemetery ceme-tery spaces would not only represent NO COST to the city, but there would be a financial gain of $800 a space. The figures computed boggle the mind - $2 million. We have the need for grave spaces, and we have little potential for a large investment in additional property. Don't say, "When it is needed," any longer. - Alan Anderson n e u s if j K9 r. m a m mm gsmmmtmmmmmj fW imam mtJ WB mtAktw iflmrnmrf) J mm fiJ9 tor mayor limn I 11 Vote Tuesday, November 8th FINANCIAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR AMERICAN FORK Understand the causes of current financial problems Meet urgent financial needs Improve the revenue stream Develop a prioritized long-range spending plan Establish and adhere to sound financial practices based on appropriate ratios for revenue, debt and expenditures Assure developmentprojects align with the long-range plan Consider the risk management component in planning Promote privatepublic project partnerships Keep the community informed about the city's financial condition Paid for by the Thompson 4 Mayor Campaign. n POOR |
