Many fees charged by the City are set to recover either all or part of the costs to provide the service, to remain affordable and to be competitive with similar services in the City or neighboring jurisdictions. Every year departments review their fees and modify them where deemed necessary, and often modify them by a cost index. Increases are proposed for a variety of department-based fees.
