Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I don't owe any money.

In addition, my Carriage House apartment has been vacant since September. Attached are all of my Republic Statements showing that they have credited my accounts.
Staff Comments: WAS SCHEDULED UNDER PROJECT NO. CG1901A1 FOR LEGISLATIVE HEARING ON 4/11/19 AT 9:00 AM. RESCHEDULED AT PROPERTY OWNER'S REQUEST.
This property is classified as a three-family dwelling in Ramsey County property tax records. The property was delivered 2 64-gallon Medium carts and 1 96-gallon Large cart on September 6th, 2018, prior to citywide garbage service. According to City records, the property owner contacted the City on 9/18/18 to inform us that he had 1 vacant unit at the property. The City removed 1 64-gallon Medium cart. The property still has 1 64-gallon Medium cart and 1 96-gallon Large cart in service. The property owner did not have his account credited. The amounts are shown as removed due to being sent to the City for assessment. The property is actually being undercharged (the amount for 1 64-gallon Medium cart and 1 96-gallon Large cart plus 3 late fees would be $228.30). The property owner did not make a payment for the 2 carts used during Quarter 4 2018; he is responsible for the delinquent amount.
