Waiver request submitted by David Courtney, a member of the Capital District Law Enforcement Planning Council, regarding a $1,500 late fee for filing his amended 2009 Tier 2.1 405 days late. |
|
Mr. Courtney states that he was not aware of the filing requirements when he was appointed to the board in mid 2008. When he was notified of the failure to file, he immediately filed the report; however, the report failed to disclose his and his spouse income form political subdivisions by exact dollar figure. Mr. Courtney states that he does not remember receiving the notice of delinquency and questions whether it was sent to the Zachary Police Department after his resignation. A review of the address shows that the notice of delinquency was sent to his home address.
Mr. Courtney states that he was ignorant of the laws, but that it also took a while before he was notified of his late filing.
