City of Maple Ridge Corporate Plan

Description

This key result relates to the objective of ensuring organizational and financial alignment to achieve Strategic Priorities and meet the needs of our growing community. Specifically, this work focuses on incrementally improving the management of fees and charges and improving rigour in setting fees and charges and updating fees on a regular schedule. The key result has four initiatives in the first instance. Each initiative focuses on an area of fees and charges for the city. Fees that are currently captured in a variety of bylaws are reviewed first to determine when they were last updated and if there is a rationale to change the scope, structure or rate of fees and charges. Then departments prepare updated fee schedules which are proposed to Council for review and approval. Amending Bylaws are then brought forward to Council either as an omnibus amendment or incrementally as a series of amendments to progressively consolidate fees and charges into the Maple Ridge Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 7575-2019. After amendments are adopted into Bylaw No. 7575-2019 then Legislative Services and the Strategy and Continuous Improvement team support departments to implement the updated fees and prepare consequential amendments to the source bylaws from which fees now need to be removed. (e.g., Building bylaw had fees embedded throughout the bylaw but these are now consolidated into Bylaw No. 7575-2019 and a consequential amendment will update the building bylaw to remove reference to the fees.).

This key result focuses on incrementally improving the management of fees and charges and improving rigour in setting fees and charges and updating fees on a regular schedule.  

The key result has four initiatives in the first instance. Amendments to the Maple Ridge Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 7575-2019 were undertaken in June and July 2025.  Three of the four initiatives in this key result are now completed.  Planning, Building, Engineering, Film, Police Services, Recreation Services, Soil Removal and General Administration Fees have all been updated for 2025 with new fees in these areas now in effect. 

Work continues on further amendments to the Maple Ridge Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 7575-2019 to consolidate Fire Protection, Cemetary, Water and Sewer service fees into Bylaw No. 7575-2019.  This is expected to be completed by Q4 2025. 

Consequential amendments will also be brought forward to remove fees from the source bylaws once these are included in Bylaw No. 7575-2019.  Also, communications have been undertaken to the community on the changes to fees through front counter signage and public notices and website and social media content. Service users will be able to refer to the Maple Ridge Fees and Charges bylaw No 7575-2019 as the single source of up-to-date fees once all consolidation is complete.
