1.0 BACKGROUND
1,1 The Community Services Department completes a full review of rates and fees
on a bi-annual basis. In June 2007, Council received Report CSD-008-07
Schedule of Rates and Fees 2007/08 - 2008/09. Fee increases for most
programs and services for September 1&12008 were approved in Report CSD-
008-07. From time to time it is necessary for a supplemental report in order to
deal with specific issues or changes that are required ahead of the scheduled bi-
annual report, as is the purpose of this supplementary report.
1,2 With the opening of the Newcastle & District Recreation Complex scheduled for
later this year, program development has now occurred and as a result there are
a number of new programs proposed that currently do not have established
rates, This supplementary report will propose rates for new programs developed
for the Newcastle & District Recreation Complex as well as a few minor additions
to address specific departmental needs.
1,3 In the development of proposed fees staff take into account the direct costs to
provide the program/service, current fees for existing similar programs/services,
and where possible, a comparison of similar programs in neighbouring
municipalities.

2.4 Finally, as recommended in the recently adopted Community Services
Department Strategic Plan, staff is actively working to improve new member and
retention rates. At this time, staff is proposing a change to the Corporate
Membership Program.
2.5 The Corporate Membership Program has been in place since the early 1990's
and was developed to increase membership sales to the business community.
The Corporate Membership Program offers a discounted fee to employees of the
same company where 10 or more employees purchase a membership at the
same time. Recently, there has been interest expressed by other organizations
or groups of people who are interested in a similar program. At this time staff is
recommending that the Corporate Membership Program be extended to include
any group of 10 or more individuals purchasing a membership at the same time
and that the Program be renamed, Group Membership Program to reflect this
change in scope.
