Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner stated that they made a payment for the Q2 2020 invoice on April 5, 2020. They stated that they should not have been charged a late fee of $4.97 when their payment was made on time.
Staff Comments: Staff confirmed with hauler that the invoice for Q2 2020 had been sent out on April 6, 2020 to the service address. Since the payment from the property owner for Q2 2020 was received by the hauler on 5/01/2020, there was a late fee of $4.97 added to the total invoice. As this late fee was justified, staff recommends approving the assessment.
