MEMO
JOINT CEMETERY BOARD
TO: Joint Cemetery Board Members
FROM: Lorne James, Treasurer
DATE: April 30, 2024
MEMO: JCB-02/24 SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL
BACKGROUND
At the November 7, 2023 Joint Cemetery Board Meeting, the following resolutions with
recommendations to Council were passed:
Moved by: Committee Member Coelho
Seconded by: Committee Member James
THAT Memo JCB-05/23 re Care and Maintenance Summary – 2016 to 2022 be received for
information;
AND THAT the Joint Cemetery Board requests Council to consider resuming the interest
guarantee at a rate of 6% of the care and maintenance investments during the 2024 operating
budget deliberations.
Moved by: Committee Member Grant
Seconded by: Committee Member Carter
THAT Memo JCB-08/23 re Review of Current Cemetery By-Laws and Rates and Fees be
received for information;
AND THAT the Joint Cemetery Board recommends to Council that the changes to the fees
identified in Memo JCB-08/23 be adopted;
AND THAT the Joint Cemetery Board recommends to Council to amend the Cemetery By-law in
the following ways:
- define holiday
- to reflect that Best Cemetery and Dobbie Cemetery do not operate with a Board
- update language surrounding vaults to be mandated instead of strongly recommended
and remove the word concrete
Council received these recommendations at the November 16, 2023 Regular Meeting of Council
and passed the following resolution:
Moved by: Councillor Emerson
Seconded by: Councillor Froese
THAT the Joint Cemetery Board Recommendations be received for information;
AND THAT discussions on resuming the interest guarantee at a rate of 6% of the care
and maintenance investments be referred to the 2024 operating budget deliberations;
AND THAT staff be directed to amend the Cemetery By-law as proposed by the Joint
Cemetery Board.
DISCUSSION
During the 2024 Operating Budget meeting, discussion around guarantee of 6 percent return on
care and maintenance investments occurred. Council inquired what the current rate was, which
is 5.7 percent with renewal up in July 2024. Council did not approve a top-off of 0.3 percent
interest guarantee. Staff would recommend this request again upon the fall JCB meeting
depending on the renewal rates of the care and maintenance GICs.
Staff presented to Council the revised Cemetery Rates and Fees and Operating By-Laws.
Council supported all JCB board recommendations. Staff submitted to the Bereavement
Authority of Ontario (BAO) for approval. BAO provided initial feedback that the rates fees would
be approved upon council by-law. However, the BAO reviewed the Operating By-laws and
identified the area on mandatory vaults as language that cannot be approved by BAO.
The BAO recommended to municipal staff to put the following language:
“Installation of a vault for all casket type burials is strongly recommended.”
Municipal staff are waiting to hear back from BAO upon approval of the Operating By-law.
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Memo JCB-02/24 re Recommendations to Council be received for information.

DATE: April 4, 2024
REPORT: PS-04/24 SUBJECT: TENDER AWARD – RFT 03-24 – 2024-2026 LAWN MAINTENANCE SERVICES
BACKGROUND
Agreement No. 0763, as authorized by By-law No. 2021-062, provided for Lawn Maintenance
Services by Swantech Industries for the period of May 1, 2024 – Dec.31, 2026. The Agreement
permits the Municipality to terminate the Agreement with thirty (30) days written notice.
On March 14, 2024, RFT 03-24 –2024-2026 Lawn Maintenance Services – was issued. A copy of
RFT 03-24 is attached hereto.
DISCUSSION
Municipal staff reached out to local contractors seeking out alternative options to financially save on
lawn maintenance without altering the scope of work. Staff had terrific feedback from local contractors
that were willing to competitively bid to complete the service at a lower cost.
Staff identified a couple items in the previous Lawn Maintenance Agreement that could come out of
the new RFT as these service are already provided through alternative contracts or municipal staff.
Municipal flower beds would be mulched by municipal staff (students)
Municipal waste/recycling receptacles to be removed as part of an alternative contract
Removal of two properties currently being maintained by utility companies
RFT 03-24 closed on March 27, 2024 at 11am. Staff received six (6) bids as the results of RFT 03-
24, 2024-2026 Lawn Maintenance Services attached hereto. Wilson’s Lawn Care was the overall
low bid with an annual cutting amount of $64,740.
Additionally, “By-Law Provision Cutting” was added to RFT 03-24 to address any non-compliance
with the Lot Maintenance By-Law No. 2018-037, as amended. Wilson’s Lawn Care, however, was
not low bid with a bid of $100/hr. The Municipality utilizes this provision option two to three times
annually with full expense of the provision to the lot owner.
As a note, the 2024-2026 bid prices Wilson’s Lawn Care accounts for a cumulative savings of 21
percent relative to the previous Agreement No. 0763 for the period from 2022-2024.
The financial breakdown for the received price would be as follows
2022-2024 2024-2026 Savings
Parks $2,165 $1,590 26%
Cemeteries $3,135 $2,580 18%

MEMO: JCB-04/24 SUBJECT: DEATH TAX
BACKGROUND
At the request of JCB board member Perry Grant, regarding collection of the Bereavement
Authority of Ontario (BAO) Death Tax fee. The current death tax fee is $30 per interment payable
to BAO. Currently, the cemetery rates and fees by-law does not include a provision or collection
line for the Death Tax administration costs.
DISCUSSION
Staff would recommend that if the JCB would like to add these death tax fee under General
Rates and Fee section of the Cemetery Rates and Fees by-law, an amended by-law would
need to come forward to Council for review. Staff have inquired with the BAO and the BAO
advised that the operator can collect these costs back.
Per BAO:
“Thank you for contacting the BAO with your inquiry on the licensing fee. The changes as of July 1, 2023
are to the amount of the fee and the new preferred name for the fee should operator wish to make the
fee transparent and provide a separate line item to show the fee on their price list and contract. If the
operator doesn’t wish to make the fee transparent, then they have the option to adjust their pricing to
accommodate the increase. Please be aware that an operator cannot retroactively collect these
charges.”
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Memo JCB-04/24 re Death Tax be received for information;
AND THAT Joint Cemetery Board recommends to Council to amend the Cemetery Rates and
Fees by-law to include Death Tax administration costs under General Rates and Fees section of
the by-law.
