Staff Comments: Staff records confirm that an Unoccupied Dwelling Registration Form was sent to the Waste Management on 06/29/2022 and should have been applied to the account starting on 7/1/2022. Waste Management confirmed that they failed to apply the vacancy request and asked that staff remove the Quarter 3 and Quarter 4 2022 assessments. Therefore, staff recommend removing the assessment.
