Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): PO states they paid the Q3 bill to WM
Staff Comments: PO has shown adequate evidence in the form of bank statements showing that this bill was paid in July 2023. Waste Management confirmed that they received the payment and applied it to the wrong account. City staff acknowledges that PO made payment 7/31/2023 which is past the due date. City staff is still recommending full removal (including late fees) because Waste Management doesn't apply their late fees until the last day of the month as indicated on all residential account billing copies that they have shared.
