DESCRIPTION: At the April 20, 1999, meeting of the Dublin City Council, the
Council adopted Resolution 76-99 adopting Interment Fees for the Dublin Pioneer Cemetery. The current
fees are $1275.00 for full earth burial and $180.00 for burial o£cremated remains. The fees have not been
revisited since 1999. The amount of labor estimated in 1999 when fees were adopted has proven to be
inadequate for performing burials. As a result of these cost increases Staff is recommending an increase
in the cremation burial fee to $230.00 and $1,335.00 for full burial, which will cover the increased costs.
Notification of the proposed fee increase was sent to all plot holders at the Dublin Pioneer Cemetery.
It is recommended that the City Council take the following action:
1. Open Public Heating
2. Receive Staff Presentation
3. Receive Public Testimony
4. Close Public Heating
5. Deliberate
6. Adopt Resolution
