City staff reported rising compliance with Chapter 14: about 4,000 material reduction and recovery plans have been submitted, a transporter permit regime has grown and staff proposed provisional facility registrations, probationary enforcement and other code clarifications to ease onboarding and strengthen diversion outcomes.
