Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): On Friday July 3rd of 2020, I received a Ratification of Assessment, File #CG2001B4, for $80.90 for services provided by Advanced Disposal for the months of October through December. 2019. I do not understand why I received this, as I also have, in my possession, from Advanced Disposal a statement dated 4/6/2020 showing a balance of a credit of $146.34. Furthermore, the statement details charges and payments made for the previous quarter, Jan-Mar of 2020. It lists: Charges of $67.28, and payments of: 67.28 made 1/14/2020; 134.72 made 1/14/2020 and $80.90 made 2/11/2020. Resulting in a credit balance of $146.34.
Staff Comments: Hauler confirmed that the payment of $80.90 for the Q4 2019 assessment was made 02/22/2020, which was after the invoice had been sent to the city as an assessment. The $80.90 paid was added as a credit on the account. Therefore staff recommends approving the assessment.
