Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner stated that they currently only have one 64-gallon container at the property that they paid for. Assessment is the remaining invoice for a 35-gallon cart with every week service and additional late fees.
Staff Comments: Property originally had a 64-gallon and a 35-gallon cart with every week service at the start of the program. However, the hauler confirmed that the 35-gallon cart with every week service was removed on 07/01/2019. Despite this change, the property was still being charged for a 64 gallon cart and a 35 gallon cart. The total cost of a 35-gallon cart with late fees is $77.38. Therefore staff recommends removing the assessment of $75.00. Staff will also request that the hauler provide a credit of $2.38 to cover the difference between the total cost of the 35-gallon cart ($77.38) with late fees and the assessment of $75.00.
