I made payments last year. When will I get my refund?
The city will comply with the court order by mailing a first quarter bill for fiscal year 2008 trash fee on or about April 17, 2007. This invoice will include the credit for your previously made payment with any interest earned, calculated through the date immediately preceding the billing date. This bill will also include three options you can exercise:
1) You will be able to continue to participate in the city's trash service and have your previous payments and interest applied toward the current balance.
2) You will be able to continue to participate in the city's trash service and request a refund of your previously made payments with any interest earned. You will then be responsible for any current fiscal year 2008 balances.
3) You will be able to choose not to participate in the city's trash service and receive a refund of your previously made payments with any interest earned.
After you return your written response included on the bill reply stub, we will either process your refund or apply the payment credit toward the trash fee balance. In order to calculate the interest correctly and administer the program as efficiently as possible, the city will not be making any independent refunds prior to receiving responses from the April 17, 2007 billing.
