ITEM 11: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
REQUEST FOR A REDUCTION IN THE PERCENT OF MONEY FROM THE
SALE OF CEMETERY LOTS AND INTERMENTS REQUIRED TO BE SET
ASIDE IN THE CEMETERY CARE FUND.
State statutes require that all municipally owned cemeteries where lots aze sold or chazges made
for interments, must set aside not less than 12.5 % of all monies received from those items as
a permanent care fund. Previous to September 1, 1993, that amount was 25%. It is anticipated
that reducing the amount of money going into the cemetery care fund will not negatively impact
the care of the cemetery. John Groth commented that at the time the fund was established, the
citizens of Owasso were promised that there would always be funds for the care of the cemetery.
Mr Ray said that the principle amount of the fund will always be there and that the percentage
of monies set aside from lot sales and interments can be changed at any time.
Chazles Bums moved, seconded by Rex Bowen, to approve a change in the policy relating to
the transfer of a percentage of the monies collected from cemetery lot sales and interments and
that the staff be directed to prepare an ordinance reducing such transfer to the Cemetery Caze
Fund from 25 % to 12.5 %.
