Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Billing was an error on Republic's part to begin with, never owed this amount! Republic corrected error on April 5. We now have a CREDIT balance. See pdf of July invoice.

Staff Comments: This property is a SF home with 1 35-gallon Small Weekly cart. The property owner paid $70.34 on 4/19/19 for the Quarter 2 2019 bill. Republic is incorrectly charging the property owner for 2 carts. Staff has followed up with Republic to ensure the billing is correct. The property owner changed his cart size on 4/19/19 from the 35-gallon Small Weekly cart to the 64-gallon Medium cart. The property owner will be keeping the 64-gallon Medium cart that is currently on site and Republic has ensured that they will bill him correctly for this cart size moving forward. Staff recommends deleting the assessment. Staff called property owner on 9/30/19 to inform him that the assessment is being removed.
