Reconsideration of a waiver request submitted by Gerard Frey, a member of the Acadia Soil & Water Conservation District, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2009 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 364 days late. |
|
Gerard Frey is a member of the Acadia Soil & Water Conservation District. Mr. Frey states that he mailed it in timely when he received the letter and assumes it must have gotten lost in the mail. No proof or other documentation was submitted in connection with his assertion that it was mailed on time. He asked the fee be waived since he has timely filed all other reports.
Mr. Frey also states that this would create a financial hardship. Supporting documentation has been requested and, if received, provided at the Board meeting.
