THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF IQALUIT
BY-LAW No. 813
CONSOLIDATED FEES AND CHARGES BY-LAW
A BY-LAW of the City of Iqaluit in the Nunavut Territory to consolidate and otherwise
establish the fees and charges payable for:
(a) City documents, facilities, infrastructure, information, materials, products, programs,
public utilities and services (collectively the "Services"); and
(b) for costs payable by the City for services or activities provided or done by or on
behalf of any entity.
WHEREAS the Cities, Towns and Villages Act RSNWT (Nu) 1988, c C-8, allows the Council
for the City of Iqaluit ("Council") to establish, by by-law, fees and/or other charges for Services;
WHEREAS the Council deems it expedient and wishes to both consolidate and update the
various fees and charges to be collected by the City;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL OF THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF IQALUIT, in regular sessions duly assembled, enacts as follows:
1.
This By-law may be cited as the "Consolidated Fees and Charges By-law No. 813,
2016".
2.
In this By-law the term "person" means an individual human being or a corporation and
includes a partnership, society, and an association or a group of persons acting in concert
unless the context explicitly or by necessary implication otherwise requires.
3.
Council hereby establishes the fees and charges as set out Schedule "A" ("Fees and
Charges") which forms part of this By-law.
4.
The City will apply all Fees and Charges as prescribed in Schedule "A" to the By-law.
5.
The CAO may prescribe terms and conditions for billing customers and payment plans
that do not otherwise contradict the provisions of this By-law, including:
a) at the time the transaction is initiated;
b) upon receipt of the Service(s); or
c) if subsection 5(a) or (b) are not applicable, upon the due date specified in any
invoice issued by the City to any person in connection with a Fee and/or Charge
imposed by this By-law.
6.
No request by any person for a Service will be processed or provided unless and until the
person requesting the Service has paid the applicable Fee or Charge in the prescribed
amount set out in Schedule "A."
7.
The Fees and/or Charges imposed pursuant to this By-law on a person constitute a debt.
The City may actively pursue the collection of outstanding receivables.
8.
The Fees and/or Charges set out in Schedule "A" to this By-law may be reduced. The
decision whether to reduce a Fee or Charge will be made by a three person Committee
consisting of the Mayor or Deputy Mayor, the CAO and the Director of Corporate
Finance. The citizen seeking a reduction of a Fee and/or Charge has the responsibility to
prove financial hardship to the Committee and shall produce relevant documents as
requested by the Committee.
9.
Subject to section 12, where this By-law establishes a Fee or Charge that has been
established by By-law, resolution or other manner that predates the effective date of this
By-law, the Fee or Charge in this By-law shall be the applicable Fee or Charge.
10.
This By-law may be cited as the Fees and Charges By-Law.
11.
This By-law shall be reviewed and evaluated for effectiveness every three (3) years and
Schedule "A" shall be reviewed and evaluated by the end of each fiscal year.
12.
All By-laws inconsistent with this By-law are hereby repealed except for all and any By-
laws relating to payment of City mill-rate taxes ("Property Tax"). To the extent there is
no inconsistency between any Property Tax By-law and this By-law, this By-law shall
govern.
13.
This by-law shall come into effect on January 1, 2017.
