Municipalities must collect revenue to pay for the public services they provide. The purpose of this study is to explore an appropriate balance in South Huron between revenue collected from individuals or groups for services they use, and revenue collected from the general public through the tax levy to fund services.

Facility Condition Assessment
Overview
The Municipality of South Huron engaged IRC Building Science Group to complete an in-depth evaluation and engineering assessment of South Huron facilities. The assessments will evaluate the condition of sites, structural systems, cladding and building envelopes, mechanical and electrical systems, interior building components and regulatory compliance. Based on the assessments, the consultant will deliver a report that includes descriptions of each building and components, identification of component condition and recommended repair and/or replacement costs. This report will inform Municipal staff of the condition and life expectancy of building portfolios in order to develop appropriate capital and operating forecasts.

- Whether the service provides benefits to the wider community
- Ability to pay of users
- Competitive market conditions
- Demand for service
- Pricing limits set by municipal policy objectives or other legislative requirements
