Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): PO sent in 1 check to pay for 4 accounts, and WM incorrectly applied check, resulting in multiple assessments.
Staff Comments: PO has multiple properties in Saint Paul and sends one check to each hauler to pay for his multiple accounts. It is correctly applied to his accounts with every hauler except WM, which has resulted in two addresses being assessed in Q2 2024 while his other two accounts with WM have $349.77 and $260.19 credit balances in Q2 2024. Upon further investigation, two older accounts (which were transferred to Republic Services in July 2022) had a total credit balance of $247.41 sitting since July 1, 2022 which WM never issued a refund check. WM has agreed to transfer theses credit balances to his assessment balance and remove the charges from the Saint Paul Holdings account. Staff recommends to reverse the late fees and remove both assessments. The Q2 2024 assessment for 1209 Dayton Avenue is $194.95, including late fees.
