Purpose
To align Parkland County's 2024 Fees and Charges Bylaw with Parks Bylaw 2023-16, Authorized Use of County Land Bylaw 2023-15, Fire Services Bylaw 2023-17 that were passed by Council in 2023 under the major bylaw review project that imply penalties to be included in the 2024 Fees and Charges Bylaw 2023-11.
Summary
Administration conducted a major bylaw review project in 2023. In the fall of 2023, administration presented for Council's approval: Parks Bylaw, Authorized Use of County Land, and Fire Services Bylaw. The three bylaws impose penalties that would be included in the 2024 Fees and Charges Bylaw 2023-11.
By adding the penalties associated with the enforcement of Bylaws, it ensures that penalty amounts are reviewed annually.

MGA s. 191 provides that the amendment or repeal of a bylaw must be made in the same way as the original bylaw.
