Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): This is a vacant building. I had done the paperwork back in January or December I believe to let the city know that this was a vacant property. But it looks like this garbage bill is for January thru March 2020 and during that time it should have been vacant.
Staff Comments: Staff verified that a vacancy request had been submitted with the city on 12/19/2019 and applied to the account on 01/01/2020. Therefore staff recommends removing the assessment.
