Hauling Service(s) Provided: Garbage Service Q4 Oct 1-Dec 31 2019
Type of Order/Fee: Trash Hauling
Billing Time Period: 4th Quarter of 2019 (October 1 - December 31)
Invoice Date(s): October 1 - December 31
Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner stated that they recived their Q4 2019 bill in the amount of $288.24 and made a payment for this amount on 10/29/2019. While this amount was paid incorrectly to their old account, the property owner called to address this in January and were told that this had been rectified. Therefore they are surprised that they have a pending assessment for $595.78 when they stated that they had paid the entire bill.
Staff Comments: Original invoice was for Quarter 4 2019 was $884.02. This included the Quarterly charge of $288.84 for three 64-gallon containers, along with $595.78 worth of back bills. Property owner paid the $288.84 in October 2019 and therefore the current pending assessment is for the $595.78 of back billing. In Quarter 4 2019, the property owner was being back billed for Q4 2018 ($89.77) Q1 2019 ($288.24) and Q2 2019 ($288.24) invoices. There was also a credit for $70.47, which brought the total to $595.78. Staff reached out to hauler, and they confirmed that the back bill of $595.78 had already been added to the previous Q3 2019 bill. Therefore staff recommends removing the assessment per the hauler's request that it be removed.
