Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): My home was unoccupied beginning Feb 19, 2019 thru Feb 29,2020. As of today April 13,2020, there have been no garbage collected from my home since Feb 2019. I am disputing billing for services provided October thru December 2019.
Staff Comments: Staff confirmed that the property was never listed as vacant during that time period. Staff is also able to confirm that there was never a UDRF submitted during that time period as well. Hauler confirmed that the resident only contacted them in 05/2019 about the vacancy and they referred them to Solid Waste Program staff. Therefore, staff recommends approving the assessment.
