1. The aforementioned fees shall be as set out in Schedule "A", attached to and
forming part of this bylaw, plus any applicable taxes.

Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act

shall be paid prior to the service or information being provided.

Meadow Lake due to non-sufficient funds or closure of the account, the fee is
deemed to have not been received.
