AGREEMENT Estes Valley Memorial Gardens, Inc., a non-profit cemetery corporation formed for the purpose of providing a burial facility for the Estes Valley area, for burial for both whole-body and cremated remains, and open to all persons, and to those of all faiths or beliefs, on an equal basis, party of the first part, and the Town of Estes Park, Colorado, party of the second part, have on this date of , 1985 agreed as follows: Whereas first party seeks, as a non-pro fit corporationâ€ž to perform a valuable service to the local area, and second party has a tract of real estate described as believed to be in all respect suitable for cemetery purposes of the type sought to be established and operated by first party, NOW THEREFORE, second party agrees to sell and convey to first party the real property described above for the nominal sum of $10.00, on the following terms and conditions: 1. That first party proceeds in a timely manner to obtain the approval of said premises as a site for a cemetery from all public boards and agencies having authority in such cases, 2. That such cemetery be perpetually available to persons of all faiths and beliefs and persuasions on an equal basis and for full body burials and burial or storage of cremated remains, and 3. That second party shall have, and hereby and in its deed of conveyance reserves for a period of years from the date hereof, the right to require a re-conveyance of the premises, and all improvements then located thereon, for the sum and consideration of $10.00 but only upon the express condition that second party would bind itsel f to the perpetual establish- Pri .tâ‚¬ - ment and care of said cemetery substantially along the lines of its at that time "past" operation by first party. 4. Second party shall have the option of requiring a reconveyance from fist party if first party is unable to acquire the necessary permits and approval required to permit the use of said premises for cemetery pur- poses within years from the date of second party's conveyance of such property to first party. Signed this day of April, 1985. ESTES VALLEY MEMORIAL GARDENS, INC. By President Attest: Secretary TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO By MEMORANDUM TO: Richard Widmer FROM: Gregory A. White DATE: May 15, 1985 RE: Estes Park Cemetery This Memorandum is based upon the following set of circumstances. A Colorado non-profit corporation named Estes Valley Memorial Gardens, Inc. has been formed pursuant to Section 7-47-101, et seq, C.R.S. 1973. Said corporation has approached the Town with the idea of purchasing a portion of the Town's property for a nominal sum. The property is a portion of the real property acquired by the Town from the Public Service Company of Colorado when the Town acquired its electrical system. Questions: 1. Can the Town sell said property to the cemetery corporation? Section 31-15-713 (1) provides that the Town can sell real property it owns if the property has been deemed to be part of a public utility or held for any governmental purpose. The question of the sale and the terms must be submitted to the voters. It is my opinion that the Town most likely must submit any such sale to the voters. 2. Can the Town sell the property for less than fair market value? Article XI, Section 2 of the Colorado Constitution provides that the Town cannot give any aid to a public or private corporation. Any sale of the property for less than fair market value to the cemetery corporation would be in violation of this Section of the Colorado Constitution. . It is unclear from the statutes whether or not the terms of the sale were put to vote whether the voters could over- ride the constitutional provision. 3. It would be necessary for the cemetery corporation or the Town, prior to the conveyance, to have the property subdivided and rezoned since the property lies in the County. In the event that the Town would retain title to the property, the Town has to follow all procedures in the County for all subdivision and rezoning, but does not need to abide by the final decision of the County. 4. Section 31-15-713 (1) (c) provides that the Town may release any real estate under the terms deemed to be in the best interest of the municipality. The Town could lease the property to the cemetery corporation. However, it is my opinion that the lease payments must be fair market value so not to violate the above constitutional section. 5. As the above comments indicate, a sale or lease of the property to the cemetery corporation for less than fair market value appears to have legal complications. The Town might consider retaining title to the cemetery property and contracting with the cemetery corporation to provide the administration, maintenance, and day to day operation of the cemetery. -2- .,t , 4,1 y : ~35 2&44,Â·c TOWN OF ESTES PARI< 1Â¥40%9-j Richard D.
