| Waiver request submitted by Jimmy Dale Gaylor, a member of the Caldwell Parish Police Jury, regarding a $50 late fee assessed for filing his 2012 Tier 3 annual pfd 1 day late. |

Mr. Gaylor states he misunderstood that he was required to file a 2012 pfd because his term ended December 31, 2011. He spoke with staff and was told that he was in office until his replacement took office at the January 2012 Police Jury meeting. His term ended on January 10, 2012. He states once he understood that he was required to file, he went to the post office to mail the report. The receiving window was already closed, so he could not get the mail registered. He deposited the mail piece into the collection box, but it was postmarked for the next day. He was one day late.
