Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner stated that his Quarter 1 2020 assessment was previously taken care of but it is still showing on his pending assessments.
Staff Comments: Hauler confirmed there were two accounts for the property since August 2019. The first account was set up at the start of the coordinated collection program under Stebbing Properties LLC . After the current owner purchased the property, they called the hauler in 08/2019 to inform them of the change in ownership. The hauler then create an account under the current property owner's name and failed to delete the account under Stebbing Properties LLC. Hauler has now informed staff that they cancelled the account under Stebbing Properties LLC and requested that we remove the assessment for Quarter 1 2020. Therefore staff recommends removing the assessment.
