Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): My name is Jean Doyle and I’m calling there because I got the letter here, it says it’s a special notice and the City Council public hearing and as a matter of fact I always pay my bills all the time.  I always pay my light and gas and whatever.  I don’t know what for but I got the public hearing and I don’t know what’s going on because I pay my rent all the time and my house payments all the time and I have missed no days

Staff Comments: Hauler stated that they have not received any payments from the property owner for Quarter 1 2020. They confirmed that they have not sent any employees to the property owners address to collect the payment and that their driver's are not allowed to take payments from+O136property owners. Staff recommends removing the late fee and reduce the assessment to $57.60.
