BOOK °�` " <br />BACKGROUND: <br />This is the culmination of all the prior activities to provide additional land to the Winter Beach <br />Cemetery and acquire a guarantee of 750 burial sites at no additional costs for indigent burials. <br />Based on the current rate of indigent burials this should provide adequate burial sites for up to 50 <br />years. <br />The County has acquired an additional 6.45 acres of land to the east of the existing cemetery. <br />The acquisition cost was $100,000 plus closing expenses. The Winter Beach Cemetery has <br />already executed their portion of the exchange agreement. The Association agrees to provide <br />750 burial sites to the County and also exchange a tract land that is the westerly 390 feet of the <br />existing cemetery containing approximately 2.95 acres of land for the 6.45 acres the County now <br />owns east of the cemetery. <br />RECOMENDATION: <br />Upon the completion of the public hearing, staff recommends the Board's approval of both the <br />Resolution authorizing the exchange and the agreement between the Winter Beach Cemetery <br />Association and Indian River County. Also for the Board to authorize the Chairman <br />to sign the County Deed on its behalf. <br />General Services Director Tom Frame noted that this exchange will entitle the County <br />to 750 indigent burials at no cost to the County plus 3 acres of land. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard <br />regarding this matter. There being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Stanbridge, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board <br />unanimously (1) approved the Agreement with the <br />Winter Beach Cemetery Association, Inc. and the <br />County <br />Deed; <br />(2) authorized the <br />Chairman to <br />execute <br />those <br />documents; and <br />(3) adopted <br />Resolution 2000-013 authorizing the exchange of <br />County Property. <br />February 22, 2000 <br />
