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. Any garbage service provided must be paid for by the property owner. The current invoice is for one 64-gallon cart ($96.08), five extra bags ($15) and late fees. Therefore staff recommends approving the assessment.
