High River council is amending the Off Site Levy bylaw after an appeal was launched.

The Town will remove the Rec Plex expansion from the rates and update the rates for the Fire Hall expansion to better reflect the estimated costs of the total project while factoring in the actual costs so far.

They're updating the bylaw to provide more clarity and ensure it complies with the criteria and principles set out in legislation.

Administration is to communicate with the development community on the proposed amendments.

It's set to come back to council for all three readings and final approval at a future council meeting.
