EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City built this house for use by the Cemetery Superintendent. Since this position has been
eliminated, the City does not need to use this house as a staff residence. CLRS staff considered
moving the building to Roselawn Cemetery to be used as a maintenance facility. Researching this
option, staff concluded that it would not be cost effective to move and remodel the house into a
maintenance shop.
In the future, the area where the house is located will be needed for more cemetery space. Prior to
that time, renting the house will generate income that the Cemetery staff can utilize to build the
needed maintenance shop at Roselawn. Staff also believes vandalism can be discouraged by keeping
the house occupied.
The current tenants will be moving on April 30, 2002. Staff is advertising for replacement tenants.
The new lease will be effective for 12 months from the date of occupancy and will have the option
to renew for an additional year.
