Background
On June 22, 2011, Council endorsed the Long Range Financial Plan (Part 1) report which outlined a budget preparation strategy for 2012 and for the term of Council. The strategy set the increase in the municipal portion of the tax bill to a maximum increase of 2.5 per cent per year during Council’s term of office.

DISCUSSION
The 2012 Draft
Operating Estimates were developed based on a projected number of applications,
and meets Council’s directive to be 100% direct cost recovery. As part of these estimates, the Committee
will be further refining the fees for our two main types of applications
based on a Full Cost User Fee Review undertaken in
2010 to specifically address appeals of the
Committee’s application fees to the Ontario Municipal Board. This fee analysis, which adds four sub-categories of fees, will now provide the basis to defend any future appeals of the Committee’s application fees to the Board. In the case of the recirculation fees, where the review called for a substantial increase to be fully cost-recovery, the increase will be phased in over two years.
