RESOLUTION APPROVING
REVISED CEMETERY RULES AND REGULATIONS
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS, revisions to cemetery rules are necessary to implement the use of the
columbarium; and,
WHEREAS, as part of that revision process, the staff of several departments reviewed the
rules and suggested changes to reflect current practices; and,
WHEREAS, these proposed rules revisions will allow lot owners to return unused lots for
a refund of the purchase price and to arrange for the sale of lots on credit terms; and,
WHEREAS, the change does not require sale of lots on credit, but the requirement for
payment in advance is deleted so that the current practice of sale on credit is not contrary to the rules;
and,
WHEREAS, the statement that a lot becomes real estate upon the death of the owner is
deleted as unnecessary and unsupported by Iowa statute.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the revisions to the Cemetery Rules and Regulations reflecting current practices and providing
for the sale of rights to a columbarium niche are hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 1 Ph day of February, 2003.
