Cost: $80.31
Hauling Service(s) Provided: Unpaid Garbage Bill; July 1 - September 30
Type of Order/Fee: Trash Hauling
Billing Time Period: Quarter 3 (July - September) 2022
Invoice Date(s): July 1 - September 30
Garbage Hauler: Waste Management
Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner stated that she paid this invoice on 8/24/2022.
Staff Comments: Hauler records show that the payment made on 8/24/2022 was applied to an old account that the property owner had with Waste Management. This payment was applied to the property owner's current account in January 2023 and was used to pay their Quarter 1 2023 invoice. Therefore, staff cannot recommend removal of the assessment in full. However, we are recommending that the late fees of $10.50 be removed and the assessment be reduced to $69.81 since it is unclear as to why the payment was applied to the wrong account.
