WHEREAS Section 12(1) of The Municipal Regulations prescribes road haul fees which are not reflective of the actual costs incurred by municipalities to maintain an acceptable level of service for transportation infrastructure.

WHEREAS there is currently no annual review or other mechanism in place for adjusting the legislated road haul fees to account for current costs, including inflation, commodity prices, as well as the actual costs to complete transit infrastructure maintenance and renewal.

BE IT RESOLVED that Section 12(1) be amended to allow a second option for determining compensation stating that a municipality can use a professional engineer to determine the actual road maintenance costs and that the cost of the engineering analysis will be included in the calculation for compensation.
