User Fees Examined


Fort Frances town councillors gave some thoughts on what user fees may look like in 2011.

No final figures were discussed at a meeting yesterday, but Mayor Roy Avis says he doesn't want to see any increase to be significant.

"I think with the HST coming in this year which has been a shell shock for alot of people on the fees that they're pay," says Avis, "the overall cost to live in this community and with the uncertainties with what's happening, I think we should look at a cost of living adjustment."

Other councillors want to see any increase have more emphasis on non-resident fees.

Councillors will take a more detailed look at the fees in the coming weeks.
