Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Resident does not wish to pay for garbage service.  

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.  Cart was swapped to small every other week on 7/16/2019.  Staff recommends reducing the amount to $70.34 to reflect the cart change.
