The Ogden Clinic Retirement Association acquired such a cemetery on Hill Field Road in Lay-to- n by forfeiture iwo years ago. With the Lakeyiew Memorial Cemetery came problems of upkeep, expenses with little revenue and the question qf where to find a buyer. Recently the group finally found someonel to take the unwanted asset. The buyer is Michael Knudsen, a real hero in the world of burdensome ceme' teries. Were trying to make it possible for Layton people to be buried in Layton for less money than they can be buried in some other town, Knudsen said. Were not competing with cities, but we can cembeat private industry-owne- d i eteries. He is asking relatives of de- ceased buried in the cemetery who now pay $10 a year to pay a e fee of $38 to go into a perpetual care fund. He is posting a $50,000 bond jto go into the fund and interest earned on the money will pay for cemetery maintenance. Knudsen plans to expand the cemetery to six acres in the next year and he wants to build a chapel there. Eventually he wants to expand to 40 acres on land bought throughout Layton City. Reduced prices will be offered one-tim- : on headstones and cribbings to. relatives of deceased. Until Knudsen came along, the cemetery board of trustees, a board in the cemetery owners association, tried to get rid of the cemetery by pleading with former Layton City mayor Louis Shields to let the city take over operations. Shields showed no interest in the expensive venture. The trustees asked some larger cemetery businesses to take an interest in the 2,700 burial plots still unused. The companies declined because the cemetery is small and there is limited land nearby on which to expand. The board tried to get the 500 owners of burial spaces in the cemetery to form an association and run it. But the owners did not want to. And the board looked into the possibility of relocating buried bodies to other cemeteries, and selling the property for mobile homes. It would take an act of cona cemetery, gress to said another board member, Greg Burnett. Apparently, in 1950 the original developer, out of Denver, dedicated only part of a larger piece of property so he could sell the rest, Burnett said. The little cemetery was passed on to a crook who took a statue of Jesus, and sold already owned plots to others, said Burnett. Eventually, after being put up as collateral for another owners investment ventures, the cemetery fell into the hands of the retirement association. sounds The $5,000 request steep to me," he said. Board member Dennis Wright made a motion to cut the contribution down to $2,500. He added having the 1996 Olympics in Utah may be beneficial to the district, since Park City is one potential site for skiing events. Park City will probably be annexed into the district in upcoming months. It (the Olympics) may raise the water use in Park City, he noted. Utah must present a bid to host the 1992 Winter Olympics, in order to qualify as a host for the 1996 Winter Olympics.
