Cranbrook city council has given three readings to its fees and charges bylaw, which will have residents paying a little more in administrative fees.
City staff said the fee changes will bring them more in line with what other communities are doing.
On the city side, tax certificates will see a fee increase from $25 to $35, NSF Service Charges will rise from $25 to $30 and a 20 per cent fee on administrative charges on recoverable work.
There are also changes coming to the policing side.
“The changes to the administrative fees for police services include a fee increase for disclosure from $50-$65,” said municipal operations manager Amanda Peters.
“That’s to more accurately reflect our staff time. Our average disclosure request takes roughly one hour.”
Fingerprinting services will go up $5 to $55.
The city expects the fee changes to bring in an additional $15,130 in revenue.
It will be up for adoption at a future council meeting.
