Staff Comments: Staff listened to the recording of the conversation between the property owner and the Republic Services customer service representative. The customer service represenative gave incorrect information to the property owner and stated that Republic Services had credited this late fee, when in reality, it had been turned over to the City for assessment. Staff has addressed this issue with Republic and has reminded them that they need to provide accurate information to their customers. Because the property owner was given incorrect information, staff recommends deleting the assessment. Staff has called and left a VM for the property owner on 10/2/19 to inform them that the assessment will be removed.
