Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): The title specialist that was involved in the sale stated that they had paid $255.44 on 4/5/2021 as well as an additional amount of $196.04 on 5/3/2021 to Waste Management. They believe that those two payments should have covered any unpaid garbage bills that were pending with the hauler. In addition, they also made a payment to the City of Saint Paul Assessment Office of $211.74 on 4/22/2021.
Staff Comments: Hauler records confirm that both payments of $255.44 and $196.04 were received on 05/03/2021. The payment of $196.04 was applied to the Quarter 2 2021 invoice and the payment of $255.44 was applied as a credit to the account since during this time it could not be applied to the Quarter 1 2021 invoice. Since the account has been closed by Waste Management, the title company will be reimbursed the $255.44. In addition, staff confirmed that the payment of $211.74 that was paid to the assessment office on 4/22/2021 was applied to the Quarter 4 2020 delinquent garbage assessment. Therefore, staff recommends approving the assessment.
