Staff Comments: This property is classified as a two-family dwelling according to Ramsey County property tax records. The property was delivered 1 64-gallon Medium cart (serial # 0818804441) and 1 96-gallon Large cart (serial # 0918301582) on 9/12/18, prior to the start of citywide garbage service. Under citywide garbage service, all residential properties with up to four units, including rental homes and townhomes, are required to have a garbage cart and receive garbage service for each dwelling unit. This was a policy decision made by the City Council to ensure that all occupied dwellings are receiving garbage service. There is no option to opt out of the citywide garbage service. There have been no vacancies reported to the City for this property. The City can provide the Unoccupied Dwelling Registration Form to the property owner to register the vacant unit moving forward. The property owner is responsible for paying the outstanding charge, as garbage service was provided for 1 64-gallon Medium cart and 1 96-gallon Large cart from October through December 2018.
