Cedar Falls Cemetery Work Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors doing cemetery work in Cedar Falls — monument setters, foundation and vault installers, and anyone else the city licenses to work in its cemeteries. This is a trade the directory has not previously recorded anywhere, and the licensing route is unusual: the cemetery supervisor decides whether a license issues, on satisfactory evidence of ability to properly perform cemetery work, so it is a judgment rather than a form. The bond is conditioned three ways — compliance with all cemetery ordinances and regulations, payment of all costs, fines and penalties incurred for failing to observe them, and performance of the work in a good and workmanlike manner. That last condition is a workmanship guarantee rather than a compliance one, which is what separates this from a permit bond. Insurance is required in the same section and is a separate obligation. Notice of cemetery work, inspection and a defective-work remedy all sit in the following sections, so the city has a route to call on the bond without going to court.
Obligee: City of Cedar Falls (City Clerk; surety approved by the Cemetery Supervisor). Citation: Cedar Falls Code of Ordinances § 17-89 (Cemetery work bond; insurance), ch. 17 (Parks and Recreation); § 17-88 (Cemetery work; license required); § 17-90 (Revocation of cemetery license); § 17-91 (Notice of cemetery work; inspection; defective work); Ord.

Term & renewal
Term: Filed with the city clerk with the cemetery license application and held with the license.
Renewal: With the cemetery license, which the cemetery supervisor may revoke.
Filing
Filed with the city clerk, with the surety approved by the cemetery supervisor. The figure renders because the section states a flat penal sum with an approved surety and offers no cash or deposit alternative. The section was adopted in March 2024 and is one of the newer municipal bonds in this file. Note that Cedar Falls states its building mover bond and this bond as flat sums while stating its three right-of-way bonds as a floor with a cost formula above it — the same clerk, three different drafting approaches in one code.
