In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, John Vance states that he would like to ask for the Board's consideration in the reduction of the fine assessed for failure to file a timely campaign report. He states that he was elected on the election date of April 5, 2014. The following election on May 3, 2014 was a runoff election for the remaining council seat in the City of Central. After review of the documentation provided by the campaign finance office it was clear that he was required to file for that election even though he did not participate.
