Tax Assessment Worksheet

Postcard Returned by: Erik Veblen

Cost: $67.39

Hauling Service(s) Provided: Garbage Service, small, weekly; Jan-Mar 2020

Type of Order/Fee: Trash Hauling

Billing Time Period: 1st Quarter of 2020 (January 1 - March 31)

Invoice Date(s): January 1 - March 31

Garbage Hauler: Republic

Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:

Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Resident believes that they should not owe the assessment due to the face that they had a temporary service hold in place for the property from 02/01/2020 - 09/01/2020.

Staff Comments: Staff confirmed with the hauler that the Quarter 1 2020 invoice was originally $192.50 for service for a 64-gal and a 94-gal cart. There was a service hold for the 94-gal cart that was applied on 02/01/2020. This lead the hauler to apply a credit of $128.32 to the Quarter 1 2020 bill. This would have reduced the assessment to $64.18. Therefore staff recommends reducing the assessment to $64.18.
