With the goal of consolidating,where practical, the Township’s fees and charges into one bylaw, this “housekeeping” report isrecommending the amendment of the Bylaw to remove all references to Fees and Charges.Finance Division is concurrently bringing forward an amendment to the Township’s Fees andCharges Bylaw, including a revised schedule of fees and charges that pertains to Fire Prevention.By removing fees and charges (Schedule B) from Fire Prevention Bylaw No. 4410 and embeddingthem in the Township’s Fees and Charges Bylaw, it will simplify the process for the Division toreview and enact changes to fire prevention fees and charges on an annual basis.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s authorization for the Fire Prevention Bylaw 2005No. 4410 Amendment Bylaw 2009 No. 4766. 
 
 
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
This bylaw amendment administratively removes all references to fees and charges from the FirePrevention Bylaw 2005 No. 4410 (Schedule A) allowing for their inclusion with all other fees as“Schedule 7” contained within the Finance Division’s concurrent Fees and Charges Bylawamendment, as well as making the following modifications:(a) Amend the definition of “fee” under Part I – Introduction, to include reference to theTownship of Langley fees and Charges Bylaw to read as follows:“fee” means any of the fees described and listed in the Township of Langley Fees andCharges Bylaw;(b) Amend Section 91(1), (2), and (3) to update reference to attached Schedules as follows:(1) an Outdoor burning Permit in the form and substance in Schedule “A”, attached heretoand forming a part of this Bylaw;(2) a Land Clearing Permit the form and substance in Schedule “B” attached hereto andforming a part of this bylaw and(3) a Special Burning Permit in the form and substance in Schedule “C” attached heretoand forming a part of this Bylaw.(c) Amend section 92. by adding in “listed in the Township of Langley Fees and ChargesBylaw”.(d) Amend section 102. by changing Schedule “D” to Schedule “C”.These amendments to the Fire Prevention Bylaw are therefore mainly for “housekeeping”purposes. The concurrent Fees and Charges Bylaw amendment addresses the actual fees andcharges for Fire Prevention services and the rationale for their adjustment.Respectfully submitted,Patty CatlinDEPUTY TOWNSHIP CLERKforCORPORATE ADMINISTRATIONThis report has been prepared in consultation with the following listed departments.
