Municipality of Clarington
Report FSD-029-23
Report Overview
Page 2
The Municipality of Clarington is restricted in the ability to generate revenues to property
taxes, user fees, grants and investment income. This report brings a draft User Fee
Revenue Policy and an updated User Fee By-law to Council for consideration. The User Fee
Revenue Policy formalizes processes on the development of user fees and sets targets for
cost recovery based on the type of service that is being provided. The recovery could vary
from 0% to 100% depending on the general public benefit versus the individual benefit to the
user of the service.
The updated User Fee By-law starts the process of consolidating user fees into one by-law
to ensure an efficient way to update rates to reflect inflationary factors as well as consistency
on when fees will change. It is recommended that an annual inflationary factor be included
based on July CPI to be effective for January 1 of each year. This ensures one date where
fees change and that fees are more reflective of the cost to provide services.
1. Background
1.1 The Municipal Act, 2001 allows the Municipality to charge user fees for services which
are provided to individuals. The user fee must be provided for in a by-law approved by
Council.
1.2 Increasingly, municipalities are reviewing their user fee process to consider the
appropriateness of the amount of costs that should be borne by the property tax levy
versus the amount that the benefiting party should be paying for.
1.3 As Municipalities are limited in the types of revenue that they may generate (property
taxes, user fees, investment income), it is important to ensure that user fees are
properly considered when the service being provided benefits individuals.
2. Draft User Fee Revenue Policy
Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Best Practice
2.1 The GFOA has established a best practice for "Establishing Government Charges and
Fees" which was adopted in 2014. One of the best practices is the adoption of formal
policies regarding charges and fees. The policy should
2.1.1. Identify the factors (affordability, pricing history, inflation, service delibery
alternatives, and available efficiencies) to be taken into account when pricing
goods and services;
Municipality of Clarington
Report FSD-029-23
Page 3
2.1.2. State whether the jurisdiction intends to recover the full cost of providing goods
and services. Set forth under what circumstances the jurisdiction might set a
charge or fee at more or less than 100 percent of full cost. If the full cost of a good
or service is not recovered, then an explanation of the government's rationale for
this deviation should be provided;
2.1.3. Outline the considerations that might influence the governmental pricing
decisions. Such policy concerns might include the need to regulate demand, the
desire to subsidize a certain product, competition with private businesses,
economic development, elasticity of demand for the particular service, and visibility
of the service to the community;
2.1.4. The specifics of how the fees and charges will be levied and collected should be
a consideration when developing policy.
2.2 The attached policy is designed to meet the best practice of having a formal policy on
user fees. Past practice has followed these principles; however, a formal policy has not
been in place.
2.3 Municipalities should calculate the full cost of providing a service in order to provide a
basis for setting the charge or fee. The Municipality already does this for building
inspection and planning services. A review of the cost will be completed for other
services.
2.4 Municipalities should review and update charges and fees periodically based on factors
such as the impact of inflation, other cost increases, adequacy of cost recovery, use of
services, and the competitiveness of current rates. While in many cases this was being
done, the policy formalizes this review process and recommends an automatic annual
inflationary increase.
2.5 User fees should utilize long-term forecasting to ensure that charges and fees anticipate
future costs in providing the service. The Municipality is developing processes and
resources to ensure that this long-term forecast can occur.
2.6 Municipalities should provide information on charges and user fees to the public. The
draft by-law consolidates many different fees from by-laws into a single source. Staff are
recommending that future user fees be incorporated in the central "User Fee By-law" to
ensure that the public has to go to one place to determine what the fees are. The list of
fees will be kept up to date on the Municipality's website.
Draft User Fee Revenue Policy
2.7 Attachment #1 is the proposed Draft User Fee Revenue Policy. This policy has been
created using other Ontario municipalities as a baseline policy.
Municipality of Clarington
Report FSD-029-23
Page 4
2.8 The by-law is a framework for a consistent approach to the establishment and
development of user fees across the Municipality. The policy will ensure consistency,
transparency and accountability in the development and management of user fees.
2.9 The by-law does not apply to fines, penalties, or interest charges which are not fees for
service. Development Charges, Community Benefits Charges and Parkland Dedication
Fees are also not fees for service and would not be included in this policy, or the
applicable by-law.
2.10 The goal of the policy and the development of user fees would be to be determine the
full cost of the services provided to individuals, groups or businesses that go beyond the
general public benefit and ensure that those individuals are paying for those costs.
2.11 The policy identifies that there are four types of funding categories for services: 1)
General Service/Fully Tax Supported, 2) Mixed Service/Partial Tax Support (General),
3) Mixed Service/Partial Tax Support (primarily individual) and 4) Private Service/Non-
Tax Supported.
2.12 As services move from general service to private service, the amount of cost recovery
from the user increases. For example, trails and pathways are a general benefit that all
parties may use and provide a recreational activity for everybody, there should be no
cost recovery of individual users for using a trail. An example of a private service would
be the the water used by an individual at their home (this a Regional example) as it only
benefits the person on that property. Partial services could include swimming lessons as
there is a general benefit for individuals to become water -safe and active, however there
is also a private benefit in that not everyone is benefitting from that service.
2.13 The policy states that there will be an automatic inflationary adjustment to user fees on
January 1, of each year. This ensures that all fees change on the same day, which
provides clarity to the public compared to fees changing throughout the year, and is
efficient for staff as there is a known date for changes.
2.14 The policy is recommended for approval to ensure that there is a formalized process for
determining User Fees and Council's expectations regarding cost -recovery can be
taken into account when determining fees.
3. Draft User Fee By-law
3.1 Attachment #2 is the proposed Draft User Fee By-law. Schedules on the By-law have
been renamed and reordered from By-law 2010-142 to reflect changes in the
organizational structure. General Fees have also been moved to Schedule A rather than
in the middle of the schedules.
Municipality of Clarington
Report FSD-029-23
Page 5
3.2 The schedules indicates that applicable taxes are to be charged in addition to these
fees. To ensure consistency in the presentation taxes are shown in addition, some
schedules showed them separate and others did not. Further, if the tax rate changed
the dollar value of the HST would change which could require bringing the by-law back
for consideration. To be efficient, applicable taxes are not shown on the schedules to
ensure that changes by the Province or Canada can be immediately reflected.
3.3 The By-law includes an ability to increase the fees annually up to an amount based on
the July CPI or $5 whichever is higher. The "up to" allows for the fees not to change or
to change by an amount less than CPI or $5 if the market conditions make sense for
that fee. Similarly, the $5 limit allows Staff to adjust relatively small fees by an amount
that makes sense although the percentage may be high. For example skating tickets
may be $1.25/skate but due to minimum wage we need to increase it to $1.50/skate this
amount is relatively small but would be above the CPI amount. It is not efficient to bring
back the fee by-law for these relatively small adjustments.
3.4 There are 16 by-laws that Staff are aware of that had fees mentioned in the body of the
by-law or as a schedule to the by-law that were not identified in the previous User Fee
By-law. The draft by-law identifies these by-laws with a cross-reference and utilizes the
fee that is identified in that by-law. Staff are recommending that these by-laws, and
future by-laws that are identified, be amended to remove the fee reference in that by-law
to reduce confusion and ensure that fees are in a central by-law.
3.5 The following By-laws were included in the User Fee By-law and will require
amendment in the future to ensure that there is no contradiction between the User Fee
By-law and the applicable by-laws:
93-144 Snow Clearing By-law
2003-127 Body Rub Parlour By-law

3.6 Within the Community Services fees, there are several fees that indicate a change
effective January 1, 2024. These fees have been identified as those that would require a
change outside of CPI or the $5 limit, or they are new fees. The reason for the change
may be alignment with the cost structure, significant change in cost structure, or market
conditions. Other fees are expected to increase on January 1, 2024, by the CPI (which
is expected to be about 3%).
Municipality of Clarington
Report FSD-029-23
Page 7
3.7 The July 1, 2023, effective date has been chosen to ensure that fees for Planning and
Infrastructure Services can be updated as per Council's direction in 2022. We are still
waiting on the fee study which should be complete in the summer of 2023 with potential
increases to be brought back to Council for adoption in the fall of 2023; however, in the
meantime a 3% increase will take effect on July 1, 2023.
3.8 Two new fees in Public Works were included for a commemorative tree and bench
program which will be rolled out later this year.
3.9 Financial Services added additional fees for legal title searches and farm debt notices
which are fees incurred in preparation of the tax registration process. These fees are in
line with other Durham municipalities. A fee to process a refund or transfer between
accounts has been added to reflect the time required to administer these transactions.
4. Financial Considerations
4.1 User Fees are one of the limited ways that municipalities have to raise funds to pay for
services. The formalization of a user fee policy will provide guidance on how to set user
fees for services to ensure that those benefiting directly from the service are properly
supporting the costs of those services. This will shift cost recovery from the property tax
levy to the user.
4.2 The User Fee By-law provides the authority to charge user fees. The use of an annual
adjustment will ensure that user fees are updated regularly for inflationary pressures.
Annual inflationary adjustments may be more sustainable than periodic larger
adjustments that have been past practice as by-laws are not reviewed annually in all
cases.
5. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Senior Leadership Team, who concurs with the
recommendations.
6. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that the Draft User Fee Revenue Policy and Draft User
Fee By-law be approved.
