User fees for City facilities to climb again in 2018
MEDICINE HAT, AB – Those wanting to book ice time, rent out theatres, or take field trips in Medicine Hat will have to dig into their pocketbooks a little more in 2018.
For the second straight year, user fees for a number of City-owned facilities have been raised, totalling around $540,000 in additional revenue for the City next year.
According to the City, this is being done to reduce the City’s reliance on property tax revenue and bring down subsidies on facilities.
Agreed upon at Friday’s Public Services Committee meeting, chairperson Julie Friesen said user groups in Medicine Hat were made aware ahead of this decision.
