Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I don’t know how to address this, I haven’t used the garbage can, I don’t know what to tell ya, don’t even know what day it’s supposed to be rolled out there, cuz I don’t believe in what this is, um, cuz I don’t need garbage service, um and they’ll still never get rolled out there, um either downsize it or come up with just what the garbage can cost is and I’ll pay the bill for the whole year, uh you’ll have to reduce the cost of this cuz I don’t use the garbage service and I never will

Staff Comments: Staff confirmed with the hauler that property owner had been receiving service for a 94-gal cart and requested that they switch out the 94-gal cart switched out for a smaller 35-gal cart with every other week service. Staff recommends approving the assessment.
