Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner stated that they contacted Republic Services about the assessed late fee. The customer service representative that they spoke with stated that the late fee may have been a mistake.
Staff Comments: Hauler records show that instead of removing the late fee, they had added a credit of $2.70 to the Quarter 1 2023 invoice. However, the hauler did request that the assessed amount be removed as a courtesy. Therefore, staff recommends removing the assessment.
