| Waiver request submitted by Terance Irvin, member of the Gonzales City Council, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his 2009 Tier 2 annual pfd 282 days late, $2500 late fee assessed for amending his 2009 Tier 2 annual-amendment pfd 227 days late, $2500 late fee assessed for amending his 2010 Tier 2 annual pfd-amendment 227 days late, and $2500 late fee assessed for amending his 2011 Tier 2 annual-amendment pfd 227 days late. |

Mr. Irvin claims that he submitted all of the reports timely but the income was reported on the wrong schedules.
A review of our database records indicate that the three reports needed to be amended because the income was reported on the incorrect schedule. However, the 2009 annual report was not timely filed as Mr. Irvin suggests. It was actually filed 282 days late.
The notice of delinquencies for all three amendments were received on the same day and amended on the same day. Mr. Irvin filed the amendments in response to a "second notice."
The Board has in the past waived late fees associated with the filing of amendments involving income reported on the wrong schedule.
His 2012 report has been filed and the income reported correctly.
