Hauling Service(s) Provided: Garbage Service Large Cart weekly; 3 Late Fees; Oct 1-Dec 31 2019

Type of Order/Fee: Trash Hauling

Billing Time Period: 4^th Quarter of 2019 (October 1 - December 31)

Invoice Date(s): October 1 - December 31

Garbage Hauler: Republic

Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:

Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I am filing a written objection to the above mentioned assessment. Attached you will find the garbage bill I received from Republic Service on 2/5/2020 stating that I only owe $16.53 which has been paid previous to this letter. The amount of this assessment was also not attached to the bill I received dated 1/5/2020. Should I have had an unpaid balance for October - December of 2019, it would have stated this on the bill. As far as my records show, I have paid all the bills I have received from Republic; therefore, I no longer owe them anything.

Staff Comments: Hauler confirmed that there was no payment made during Quarter 4 2019. Therefore staff recommends approving the assessment.
