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 4 2019. 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 the property owners. Staff recommends removing the late fee and reduce the assessment to $60.83.
