Many of the fees being addressed in the <br /> Municipal Code have not been adjusted for over 50 years. <br /> Either I,or Director of Public Works Eric Horvath, will present this Bill to the Common Council at <br /> its appropriate committee meeting and at the public hearing during the Common Council's regular <br /> meeting. <br /> Thank you for your consideration of this matter. <br /> Sincere) Fl {t' .
