Body
Administration Recommendation(s)
Administration supports the recommendations.
Purpose
Bylaw No. 2015-37 establishes fees and charges for Parkland County, effective January 1, 2016, and provides a consistent approach regarding all fees.
Summary
Fees and charges for goods and services provided by Parkland County have previously been approved by resolution of Council by means of the annual budget approval. Administration suggests that all the fees and charges be approved by bylaw to provide a consistent approach and eliminate distinguishing between fees that can be imposed by resolution, and those fees that must be imposed by bylaw.
Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications
MGA s. 8(c) requires that fees for permits, licences and approvals must be established by bylaw. MGA s. 191 provides that the amendment or repeal of a bylaw must be made in the same way as the original bylaw.
