Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): We have tried to resolve this ongoing issue since February 2.28.19. We have called Republic 7 times and the City of St Paul numerous times, but this issue still remains unresolved. I just spoke with Luis at Republic and he said our account is clear and provided the attached documentation as proof. The issue started 1.19.19 when Republic employee told us in error to subtract $21.27 from our Jan invoice due to request for vacation hold for 5 weeks . Please see attached document from Republic that our account is in good standing. Thank you for your understanding and resolution of this issue. Follor up to previous statement... To clarify, we will NOT be attending hearing. Issue has been resolved per conversation with Manteza, Billing Coordinator for Republic 651.286.4569. Thank you.
Staff Comments: Republic Services said to remove assessment. Staff recommends deletion. Property owner has been informed that assessment will be removed.
