Tax Assessment Worksheet
Postcard Returned by: Rupinder Singh
Cost: $600.74
Hauling Service(s) Provided: Garbage Service Q4 Oct 1-Dec 31 2019
Type of Order/Fee: Trash Hauling
Billing Time Period: 4th Quarter of 2019 (October 1 - December 31)
Invoice Date(s): October 1 - December 31
Garbage Hauler: Republic
Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I am enquiring about this $600.74 charge for garbage services from Oct to Dec 2019. I am not sure why I am paying $200 per month for garage service as this seems incorrect for I just made a payment for $279 for the last three months.
Staff Comments: Hauler confirmed that the total Quarter 4 2019 bill of $600.74 consisted of $269.27 for the back bill and $331.47 for the Q4 2019 bill of three 35-gal carts with weekly pick up ($288.24) with additional late fees of $43.23. The property was under billed for Q4 2018, Q1 2019, and Q2 2019 by a total of $249.41 (see chart attached). Therefore the back bill should be reduced to $249.41. The late fees of $43.23 on the Q4 2019 invoice should also be removed and the invoice reduced to $288.24, which would be the base cost of three 35-gal carts with weekly pick up. Therefore, staff recommends reducing the total assessment to $537.35.
