Commission adopts square-foot pricing for plots; increases rates
Summary
The commission voted to price cemetery plots by square foot and approved LB Wilson's recommended rate increases to better reflect plot sizes and cover transaction fees; motion passed by voice vote.
The Eureka Springs Cemetery Commission voted Aug. 13 to change plot pricing to a square-foot basis and to adopt a recommended rate schedule to reflect different plot sizes.
Superintendent LB Wilson explained the change and rationale: "We sell the plots by the square foot," he said, arguing larger plots should cost more and that card-processing fees (Square) are cutting into revenue. Commissioners debated whether higher prices would discourage buyers and noted most plot purchases are by card or check, not cash. Mike Welch moved to adopt LB's suggested square-foot pricing and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Chair Chris Rithaller confirmed the commission will publish the new rate table and review impact on income at subsequent meetings.
