Report Number: FIN 17-25
Date: November 3, 2024
From: Stan Karwowski
Director, Finance & Treasurer
Subject: 2026 User Fees
- File: F-2000-001
Recommendation:
1. That Council approve the General Municipal Fees and Charges 2026 By-law (to amend
By-laws 6191/03) and Schedule I, as set out in Attachment 1, and incorporate these into
the 2026 Current Budget; and,
2. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be given authority to take the necessary
actions to give effect thereto.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval of the
recommended 2026 User Fees, as proposed in the attached General Municipal Fees and
Charges 2026 By-law, to allow for implementation effective January 6, 2026.
User Fees are an important source of revenue for the City of Pickering and help to cover all or
some of the cost of delivering customer-specific services such as recreational programs,
licenses, and processing development applications. These fees benefit the community by
reducing the tax rate and ensure that the City continues to provide high quality programs and
services.
A general increase in user fees of 2.75 percent to 3.00 percent is recommended for 2026 to
address City cost pressures including: higher wages, inflationary increases, increased costs for
utilities, and higher costs for equipment purchases and maintenance, balanced with the need
to keep fees affordable. The proposed 2026 User Fee & Charges Schedule is included in
Attachment 1.
The Municipal Price Index (MPI) is different than the Consumer Price Index (CPI) due to the
fact it is a different basket of goods that is being used to measure cost increases. MPI is
higher because it includes factors such as construction costs and Council approved labour
contracts. The recommended 2.75 to 3.00 percent increase allows the City to recover
increased operating costs arising from inflation and tariffs.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond
to the Pickering Strategic Plan Corporate Key of Deliver on Good Governance – Customer
Service Excellence.

Financial Implications: The revised User Fees will be incorporated into departmental
budgets through the 2026 Budget development process. The 2026 User Fee increase is
expected to reduce the taxpayer-funded cost of service delivery by $483,000.00 and lower the
City’s required 2026 tax levy increase by approximately 0.5 percent.
Discussion: The purpose of this report is seek Council approval of the recommended 2026
User Fees to allow for implementation effective January 6, 2026.
The City posted the draft 2026 User Fee Schedule on the City’s website on October 3, 2025
and launched a survey at LetsTalkPickering.ca/Budget to capture views from the public
regarding the City’s User Fees. The survey was promoted on social media, Digital Signs, City
website, and enewsletter to all LetsTalkPickering subscribers. The survey closed on October
17th and the City received feedback from eleven contributors with mixed results. Some
respondents recommended no increases to user fees while other respondents recommended
that a greater increase to user fees.
A. Fee Recommendations
Staff considered input from a range of sources in determining the recommended User Fees for
2026, including:
• public engagement and direct customer feedback results throughout the year
• current market conditions, including benchmarking against other area municipalities
• demand for service
• current cost of service delivery
• inflation
• tariffs
Recovery of costs associated with the delivery of services and programs, and ongoing
maintenance of the facilities and equipment is an important principle guiding the City’s
approach to setting user fees. The impact of inflation and new tariffs implemented by the
United States (US) on the City’s service-delivery costs is expected to continue to create
financial pressures in 2026. The City’s cost for salaries, materials, utilities and building
maintenance are all impacted by inflation and US tariffs, putting pressure on both user fees
and the tax levy.
The MPI is used to measure the yearly change in the cost of providing municipal services
which includes Council approved labor contracts, utilities, gas, insurance, repairs, maintenance
and other core expenses that is required to run the City. The MPI is different and higher than
the CPI due to the fact it is a different basket of goods that is being used to measure cost
increases. The recommended 2.75 to 3.00 percent increase allows the City to recover
increased operating costs arising from inflation and tariffs.
Affordability is important to our community, so staff are recommending a balanced approach,
with the general increase in User Fees for 2026 being held to 2.75 to 3.00 percent. This
recommendation balances the need to recover the cost of service delivery and the desire to

limit cost increases for community users. The City also continues to offer Community Support
Programs to assist those members of our community who face financial barriers to
participation. See Attachment 2 for more information about these programs.

Community Support Programs
Access to Recreation:
The City’s Access to Recreation Policy minimizes financial barriers to participation. This policy
is designed to ensure residents have full participation in recreation programs and services
regardless of their income status. Low-income residents who are eligible for assistance include
those already receiving social assistance from Durham Region, households whose income is
below the Low-Income Cut-Off, residents over the age of 65, and persons with disabilities.
Funding for this program is provided from several sources including the City of Pickering,
Durham Region, and the Canadian Tire Jumpstart Program.
In 2025 $100,000 was directed toward this program.
