Tax Assessment Worksheet

Postcard Returned by: Lyle Kratzke

Cost: $3.83

Hauling Service(s) Provided: Unpaid Garbage Bill; January 1 - March 31

Type of Order/Fee: Trash Hauling

Billing Time Period: Quarter 1 (January - March) 2022

Invoice Date(s): January 1 - March 31

Garbage Hauler: Republic Services

Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:

Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner feels that they should not have been charged an additional $3.83. They claim that Republic Services owes them money since they were overcharged for garbage in 2021.

Staff Comments: Hauler records show that the property owner was credited $69.91 on their Q1 2022 invoice. This was based on the fact that they were charging the property owner for a 96-gal cart and two 35-gal carts when the property owner only had one 96-gal cart and one 35-gal cart. This credit reduced the original invoice from $246.43 to $180.01. Since the property owner only paid $176.62 on 1/24/2022, they still owed $3.83. However, the hauler requested that the city remove this assessment as a courtesy. Therefore staff recommends removing the assessment.
