Fernie residents wanting to be heard on proposed business license fee changes have a little more time.
Fernie council is set to adopt amendments to the business license fees during the Nov. 25 council meeting. Once approved, regular business license fees will jump from $100 to $150.
Finance direct Bryn Burditt said they are losing money from the time it takes to process licenses.
“We’re losing money on running the program as it is, which means it’s being subsidized by our regular property tax payers,” he said.
Written statements can be submitted until 2 p.m on Nov. 25.
They can be sent to the city via email, fax, mail or in person at city hall.
