Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner passed in March 2019. Daughter stated that initially they did not stop garbage services due to the fact that they were cleaning out the property. They stated that they called Waste Management in May 2020 to request that they cancel service for the property. However, the property continued to receive invoices.
Staff Comments: Hauler records show that there has been no contact with the property owner since the beginning of the coordinated collection program. As a courtesy, staff recommends removal of the Quarter 1 2021 assessment. Staff will also remove the pending Quarter 2 2021 assessment.
