BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
July 1, 2004 - June 30, 2005
During this past fiscal year there were 18 regular burials, 9 cremation burials and 5 urns placed
into niches at the Lafayette Cemetery plus the pre-need sale of 21 regular burial rights, 4
cremation sites and I I niches. In the Alamo Cemetery there were 4 regular burial, 5 cremation
burials and 8 urns placed into the niches plus the pre-need sale of 17 niches were sold in Alamo.
The Lafayette Cemetery has over 600 burial sites and 46 niches for sale. The Alamo Cemetery
still has 102 above ground niches for sale. No regular burial sites are available in Alamo.
Our grounds keepers have been maintaining both cemeteries, as well as the opening/closing for
all burials. Tice Valley Landscaping has been maintaining the lawns in the Lafayette Cemetery.
Both cemeteries had extensive tree work done at a cost of$19,390. This F/Y the District had to
purchase/print new deeds and.business checks. The cost of deeds came to $1,158.28, and the
cost of checks come to $563.21. One of the old trees in the Alamo Cemetery had a large branch
fall on to `Stow Family Plot' brick fence. Hired Denny's Diablo Masonry to repair the fence, the
Cost $2,450. The Lafayette Cemetery's main water valve needed to be replaced along with a
small water pipe on the corner of Circle Drive and Arbor Way, the cost $9,445.25. We employed
Delta Fence Company to make repairs for cost of$11,435. It cost the District $2,096, to run two
different employment ads, in the local newspaper.
The District purchased a new lowering devise, the cost $3,626. Purchased new electrical tools
(skill saw, trimmers, water pump, chain saw and a cabinet to lock up the new equipment) also had
to be purchased, the cost $2,103. The District decided to put A/C and a new heating system in
the Lafayette office, the cost $4,200.
The income from burials and/or sales fell short of our expected revenue this fiscal year. The
Trustees decided to raise the costs of lots and niches starting on 7/13/05 additional for revenue.
The charges will have to be re-evaluated again in October.
As of June 2005, the District has$266,206 in its Endowment Fund and $12,8 10 in LA11F (Local
Agency Investment Fund). The actual annual operating budget was $263,400, this doesn't
include the repurchasing of lots.
District generated revenue for f/y $ 871025
Annual share of property taxes $158,099
TOTAL $245,3124
Total expenses were27$ 8.780
