| State Budget Proposal: Affects on Recycling | | |
This week, Governor Walker introduced his budget proposal for the 2011 - 2013 Biennium. Under the Governor's proposal, Bayside would lose approximately $40,000 per year in recycling funding. Though the Village anticipates a loss in funding for recycling operations, we will continue to promote and encourage recycling in the Village to meet our 2011 goal of 650 tons. Recycling not only keeps items from going into the landfill, but it also does not cost the Village to dispose of recycling. Bayside has a long history and ordinance in place to maintain the existing recycling program. As the details of the budget proposal emerge, the Village will continue to monitor the potential impacts on Bayside. |

| February Building Permits | | |
In February, the Village issued 28 building permits, bringing our YTD total to 59. Though this is slightly down compared to February 2010. This can be attributed to not only the increase in permit fees, but also a number of larger projects undertaken in the Village, such as major renovations and additions. If you would like to apply for a building permit, or if you would like more information about the Architectural Review process, please visit the Village's website.
