Staff Comments: 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. Property owners must provide garbage service for all occupied dwellings. There is no option to opt out of the citywide garbage service. The property owner is responsible for paying the outstanding charge, as garbage service was provided from April through June 2019. The property owner is currently  assigned 1 65-gallon Medium cart and 1 35-gallon small weekly cart. The 1 65-gallon medium cart was placed on a vacancy hold at the beginning of the 2nd quarter but because it was reported after the 2nd quarter started payment is required. Staff recommends approving assessment.
