Tax Assessment Worksheet
Postcard Returned by: Connie and Jim Supple
Cost: $25.56
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 submitted a temporary service hold in November to be effective from December 2019 - January 2020. They confirmed with the hauler in November 2019 that they had received the service hold. They paid for service in October and November but not in December of 2019.
Staff Comments: Hauler confirmed that they had received service hold in November and that the $25.26 should not have been sent to the City as an assessment. Therefore staff recommends removing the assessment. Update: Hauler confirmed that they had received service hold in November and that it was out into effect on December 5, 2019. However, the resident does owe the $25.56 since she short paid her Quarter 4 2019 invoice. The total invoice was for $70.34 and she only paid $46.00. At the time of payment, resident should have paid the full amount. This is due to the fact that when a temporary service hold is submitted, the resident is required to pay the full invoice for the quarter in which the temporary service hold is submitted. Any period during which the resident was not receiving service will be credited to them in the following quarter invoice. This property owner in this case did receive a credit of $15.96 for no services received from December 5 2019 - December 31, 2019. Therefore staff recommends approving the assessment of $25.56.
