Such permit and deposit shall be in addition to any other requirement.

After completion of such work and upon a determination by the Division of Streets that such areas are free of dirt and other debris, such deposit, less the cost of cleaning work performed by the City and less a ten dollar ($10.00) permit fee, shall be returned to the depositor thereof. If such costs and fee exceed the deposit, the Director of Public Works, or his or her designee, shall bill the permittee for the remaining balance.
