Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): WM has been triple billing a Single Family home that has only 1 - 64 gallon cart.
Staff Comments: In October 2022, a garbage assessment file was entered and Waste Management was made aware of the triple billing happening at this property. WM requested the Q2 2022 assessment of $333.12 to be reduced to $96.95 (the amount for 1 -64 gallon cart in 2022). However, WM did not remedy the mistake in their system, resulting in the property being continually assessed each quarter for 3 - 64 galloon carts. Staff recommends reducing.
