| Waiver request submitted by Melba Creech, a member of the Eros Board of Aldermen, Jackson Parish, regarding a $1,500 late fee issued for filing her 2012 Tier 3 annual pfd 216 days late. |

Ms. Creech states that she timely filed the 2012 pfd after receiving the notice of delinquency. She states that she failed to disclose her wages and she did send in an amended pfd. However, the notice of delinquency received regarding the 2012 pfd was a failure to file, not a request to amend. Ms. Creech, during 2012, received a notice requesting she amend her 2011 pfd to disclose her income. Also, during a conversation with staff, she was informed of a need to amend her 2013 pfd as well to disclose her income. The 2012 pfd was a failure to file and it took 216 days to file that pfd.
