RE:
Waiver request submitted by David Anderson, a former member of the St. Tammany Parish Development District, regarding a $400 late fee assessed for filing his 2012 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 8 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Anderson states that he served on the District's board for ten years until St. Tammany's new parish president dismissed all board members in June 2012. The District's Administrative Assistant sent a reminder each year to board members to remind them of their filing requirements. Since he was dismissed by the Parish President, he no longer received those reminders. He also states that he was leaving to go out of town when he received the notice of delinquency. He states he has a second home in Alabama and was delayed coming home to take care of his grandson.
