We hope to streamline that annual license renewal and how the City is required to label certain items. Also,the City pays three(3)fees associated with this hazz. waste disposal—being the CEC fee on City dumpsters,Annual Hazardous Waste Permit and additional Drop off fees. These— in total amount to less than$1,000+/-but each take paperwork and seems to be duplicative .... More to come in 2022... • The City saw a 3.5%decrease in total BFD calls for year-end 2021.Earlier data was a bit incomplete. Similarly the City uses call run data to send out billings-due to high responses by the BFD-to Boutwell's and Nolde developments.For 2021,Boutwell's owes the City less than$2,000 and Nolde does not owe the City any additional funds.In both cases,call volumes were minimal compared to previous years.
