Specifically, there was no service cart available, even though the property owner attempted to request a replacement. Despite this lack of service, Waste Management continued to bill the property for the full 96-gallon service; and
WHEREAS, the Legislative Hearing Officer recommends deleting the assessment, not because of the illness and death of the property owner, but because of the issue with the cart situation from previous hauler was inaccurate and was not sent to the city; Now, Therefore, Be It
RESOLVED, that the reduction of $154.45, plus any accrued interests, be deleted. Council File No. RLH AR 25-2 is hereby amended to reflect this change.
