Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I unable to pay my garbage bill until the beginning of the second month of the quarter. My PERA check does not arrive until the first of the month. Therefore I should not be charged a late fee.
Staff Comments: Under citywide garbage service all payments for each quarter are due on the 25th of the first month of the quarter. Bills paid after the 25 of the month will incur a late fee of 5%. The bill for Quarter 4 2019 was due on 10/25/2019. Resident stated that she paid her Quarter 4 2019 bill after 10/25/2019. Therefore staff recommends approving the assessment.
