Hauling Service(s) Provided: Unpaid Garbage Bill; October 1 - December 31
Type of Order/Fee: Trash Hauling
Billing Time Period: Quarter 4 (October - December) 2022
Invoice Date(s): October 1 - December 31
Garbage Hauler: Waste Management
Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property owner stated that the upstairs unit of the property has been vacant since December 2021.
Staff Comments: Hauler records show that the property owner submitted a temporary service hold with Waste Management from 2/19/2022 - 8/14/2022. When the property owner called again on 10/19/2022 about the Quarter 4 2022 invoice, they were told by the Waste Management customer service representative that they were unable to do another temporary service hold and then directed to call the City for assistance. Since the City has no records of the property owner calling for assistance following their conversation with Waste Management, staff recommends approving the assessment since there was no temporary service hold or vacancy applied to the account during that time.
