Sudbury auditor unveils pending reviews

Checking out the fees Sudburians pay

Fees that Sudburians pay for city services are being examined by Greater Sudbury's auditor general.

Brian Bigger plans to release his findings in July. He said fees for everything from parking to ice time usually go up by three per cent each year.

"There are different programs and services where operating expenses are growing at a faster rate and we just want to identify where they may be gaps and challenges that are affecting the budget process," Bigger said.

He noted that the current fee structure might leave the city short-changed.

Another audit on the horizon this year will be an investigation into garbage collection contracts and the design of city roads.
