Burnaby council agreed at Monday night's meeting to establish a bylaw that would outline and set fees for police services in the city.
The motion to approve the bylaw and approve the fee schedule was amended, requesting more information from the Burnaby RCMP, but passed as amended.
The Burnaby RCMP has collected fees for documents and administration services relating to police records and information for more than two decades, according to a report from the finance and civic development committee.
The money goes towards offsetting the cost of salaries and benefits of the staff providing these services, according to the report.
The proposed fee schedule would bring criminal record search, police certificates, fingerprints, pardon applications, and chauffeur's permit charges up to $60 from the current $50 fee.
The largest change would be the increase for collision analyst reports from $50 to $575.
Scale drawings would go from $40 to $150, and mechanical reports (in the cases of accidents) would go from $40 to $200.
Scene measurement fees would increase from $40 to $75.
Other fees would stay the same, including no charge for volunteers' criminal record checks.
In the last five years, the detachment has collected about $300,000 for these services, according to the report.
