Other recommendations include reviewing fees and fines charged by the city, facility user fees (eg: recreation, community centres, sports fields), developer fees for streetscape improvements, and charges to use municipally owned value-added data.
鈥淭he City of 麻豆精选, like many other municipalities, has yet to unlock the full potential of existing revenue sources or implement new approaches to revenue,鈥� the report states.
An example of a successful alternative revenue opportunity is the 2020 new Parks Development Cost Charges program.
It recovers costs from development to build parks including the newest Waterfront Park, Ballou Park, Tallgrass Park, the Pond鈥檚 Community Park, and Gopher Creek Linear Trail.
The report and the Driving Municipal Revenue Study are available on the City of 麻豆精选 website.
