Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): We are being charged for garbage service during the time the property was a registered vacant building and had no occupants or garbage service. Property was not occupied until 12/1/2020.
Staff Comments: Staff confirmed that property has been registered as vacant from November 29, 2018 to September 30, 2020. Therefore staff recommends removing the Q3 2020 assessment in full. City Staff has followed up with the hauler to ensure that there were no other assessments incurred during the period of vacancy.
