Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I did not take over ownership of this property until after this quarter ended (please see attached purchase agreement).

Our mortgage provider did retain this amount of money for this bill, and reserved the money to apply to this fee. Our lender is looking into this and promises that they will rectify this situation. Our lender is Kevin Lee at Summit Mortgage, his email is klee@summit-mortgage.com. The garbage bills are now going to me, and I am up-to-date in the payment of these.

Property had a medium 64-gallon cart on site for the entire Quarter 3 2019 period of July - September and was receiving service during this period. Therefore, staff recommends approving the assessment.
