Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I have paid my Quarter 1 bill in full, have spoken with multiple customer service reps at Republic Waste and confirmed that I do not owe any balance and have not had ANY balances written off on the account, spoke with a City employee on 4/16 shortly after I received the notice and was told that "Everyone received that and we are trying to figure out who actually owes what and we will send out letters to those who actually owe balances," received a notice in May that I still needed to pay and immediately filed a dispute, including screenshots that showed the payments and credits on my account. Despite all of this, the City has chosen to uphold an assessment for services I have already paid for.

Staff Comments: According to information provided by the resident the property owner made a payment of $99.88 on 12/14/18 for Quarter 4 2018 (October - December) and a payment of $102.44 on 4/25/19 for Quarter 2 2019 (April - June).
