Notice is hereby given that City officials are recommending to the Public Works and Infrastructure the enactment of:

• (a) a by-law amending the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 441, Fees and Charges, to set a fee for a courier/delivery vehicle parking permit, effective upon approval of the appropriate Set Fine Order in the amount of: $600.00 for a fiscal year for an individual vehicle permit; $5000.00 for a fiscal year for a fleet permit (maximum of 10 vehicles); and $500.00 per additional permit for a fiscal year in excess of 10-vehicles under the fleet permit. All permits are subject to applicable taxes, an automatic inflationary increase and the fee will be prorated quarterly based on the time of year when it is issued. An administration fee of $28.00 subject to applicable taxes and an automatic inflationary increase, will be charged to replace a lost/stolen permit or to re-issue a permit.
