Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): Property Owner filed a temporary service hold 10/27/2022, so she does not want to pay for the 2 months that she was not receiving service. She is okay with paying for October, i.e. 1/3 of the assessment.
Staff Comments: Hauler records show that they the property owner did contact them regarding a vacation hold on 10/27/2023 and that it was applied to the account from 11/1/2022 - 5/1/2023. They requested that the assessment be reduced to $22.71 to reflect both the base level of service ($19.77) provided from 10/1/2022 - 11/1/2022 and late fees ($2.94) for this service period. Therefore, staff recommends reducing the assessment to $19.77 and not including the late fees since the assessed amount was incorrect.
