Our User Fee Survey has been extended to Oct. 6! Complete it online today to have your say.
About the Project:
The City of Belleville is undertaking a comprehensive user fee review.
Most of the City of Belleville’s parks, recreation and culture user fees have not undergone significant review or changes in recent years. The 2023 review will include an assessment of the City’s existing user fee schedule, potential new user fees and the development of user fee-related policies.
Facilities and associated fees to be considered in the study include: ice/floor surfaces and event fees, gymnasiums, aquatic facilities, multi-purposed spaces, playing fields, ball diamonds, parks, marina operations, community centres, museum services and more.
The Approach:
Strategy Corp Inc. has been contracted to conduct the review. The project will take part in three phases.
- Phase 1: Fees Analysis and Stakeholder Engagement - The project team will begin by conducting a quantitative analysis of the existing fees and consulting with identified stakeholders. This will include development of a stakeholder engagement plan, interview guides for relevant stakeholders and fees analysis findings report.
- Phase 2: User Fee Recommendations Formulation - Informed by the previous findings, the team will develop draft preliminary recommendations for revisions to the fees schedule and phased implementation planning.
- Phase 3: Organizational and Service Delivery Review Finalization - The final stage of the project involves a presentation of the findings to council, followed by a recommended fee schedule and policies for council approval.
Community Engagement:
We will be engaging stakeholders through a variety of mechanisms including:
- Interviews – Members of the project team will be reaching out to stakeholders to conduct interviews.
- Online Survey – Open until Oct. 6: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BellevilleFeesReview
Residents are encouraged to stay tuned for future updates.
