Appeal Process for Landfill Bills. DPW superintendent Jeff
Willett explained the proposed appeal process, stating that an
appeals board should be established consisting of either the
Board of Public Works or its designees. Mr. Willett stated that
the only abatements he could grant are if an error in
classification has occured; a dispute regarding assessment would
need a different process for abatement. Chairman Grossman
stated his concern was a hardship for individuals being required
to pay up front and then possibly getting an abatement. Mr.
Willett said it was possible to grant a grace period. Mr. Mort
Donahue stated that if a appeals procedure is implemented, a
Public Hearing must be held as this is an amendment to the
regulations. Ms. Coombs stated that a category for non-taxed
organizations such as the Post Office and Churches should be a
part of the regulations. After further discussion, Mr. Viera
moved to extend the due date for paYment of Landfill User Fees
until August 31, 1990 and to establish a Public Hearing date to
implement the Appeals process at next week's meeting. Seconded
by Mrs. Sevrens. So voted. Chairman Grossman stated that Mr.
Willett should provide the Board with his comments on the
current fee structure, an analysis of the complaints received
and proposed membership for the appeals committee.
