Section 4. The reason or reasons for this proposal are that the detach-
ment of said territory from the Magnolia Memorial Cemetery
District would be for the best interests of landowners and
present and future inhabitants within said District based
on, but notlimited to, the following findings:
A. The original purpose of the Magnolia Memorial Cemetery
District was to create a governmental entity with the
power to provide cemetery maintenance of three cemeteries,
there currently being only one cemetery, Magnolia
Memorial Park Cemetery in Garden Grove, which is not.
of close proximity to that area which is being taxed
in Cypress. At the present time, there are other
governmental agencies which are capable of providing
maintenance service to the cemetery.
B. Taxation for this service has increased 357 since
1965, because of the rising costs of maintenance. The
costs of upkeep and maintenance function could easily
be absorbed by another unit of government.
C. This District represents a "phantom" government, unknown
to taxpayers and community residents which levies taxes
without providing benefits.
D. The elimination of structures of government no longer
needed both maximizes the economies which can be afforded
to our citizens and removes the confusion which always
exists tor the citizen in determining the agency res-
ponsible for providing local governmental services.
WHEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Cypress requests that proceed-
ings be initiated for the change of organization proposed hereby.
