Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Hauler has no access to pick up the cart,, they state alley pick up and no access to the alley
Staff Comments: Property is required to be in the program. However, it appears that notices were sent to 1820 Stillwater instead of the owner's billing address as in Ramsey County records. Resident indicates that he did not know who the hauler was and did not call the hauler directly to address service issues. Staff can't find any records of calls to the city to address the concern or notify the city of a vacancy. Without any indications to the city that there were issues, the pending assessment should stand.
