| Waiver request submitted by Clarence Sharp, a member of the Monroe City School Board, Ouachita Parish, regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 2 annual pfd 295 days late. |
|
The waiver request was due by May 8, 2014 and was not filed until August 1, 2014.
Mr. Sharp states that he mailed the disclosure statement by certified mail, which was received on April 21, 2014; however, his disclosure statement was marked received earlier on February 2014. Mr. Sharp also states he filed the 2011 pfd in January 2012. A pfd with the calendar date listed as "2011" was filed in February 2012. However, a notice of delinquency was issued immediately prior to that date seeking his 2010 pfd and the staff marked the pfd received as his 2010 since it was received in such close proximity to the 2010 notice of delinquency.
