Tax Assessment Worksheet
Postcard Returned by: Gigi Yau
Cost: $37.68
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
Garbage Hauler: Aspen
Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): What's going on is that the trash assessment of $37.68 included $4.92 that should not be there because I carry a credit balance. And a year ago similar things happened. I came in person to defend myself. Martha allowed me to remove the late fee.
Staff Comments: Staff confirmed with hauler that the original invoice was for $60.83. There was an existing credit on the account of $28.07 that reduced the amount due to $32.76. Since the amount of $32.76 was not paid during the service period, it generated late fees of $4.92. These late fees should not be removed as they were generated due to a lack of payment by the property owner during Quarter 4 2019. Therefore, staff recommends approving the assessment.
