Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner states that they called Advanced Disposal on 09/29/2020 regarding the Public Hearing Notice and Ratification of Assessment they received for a Q2 2020 Delinquent Garbage Assessment. They stated that they spoke with Eugene who informed them that they were the team leader. The property owner was informed by Eugene that on 08/05/2020 a representative by the name of Kim sent a "Reverse to Tax Rule" to the accounts payable department, meaning she requested that it be removed. Apparently after this, the property owner tried to contact Eugene again but was not able to speak to him after that.
Staff Comments: Staff confirmed with hauler that the amount of $54.36 should have never been sent to the city as an assessment. Therefore staff recommends removing the assessment.
