SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Yakima City Council approved Resolution R2003 -35 on March 4, 2003 authorizing the
development of Phase 1, approximately 2.5 acres at the cemetery, at a cost of $49,500. In addition,
this resolution approved the pre -sale of up to 200 graves in the new development to the Japanese
Bochi Association of Yakima Valley with a portion of those proceeds from the sale to be used to fund
the development.
The Japanese Bochi Association paid the City $105,300 on March 21, 2003 for 195 grave sites.
These dollars included the sale of the lots plus Endowment Care.
Phase 1 Development is almost complete. It includes grading, irrigation, planting turf and corner
markers. Legal descriptions have been developed and recorded.
This request is for an expenditure appropriation of $49,500 for development at Tahoma Cemetery.
(The revenue estimate for Lot & Niche Sales will also be increased by the same amount.)
