| Waiver request submitted by Melba Sandifer, a member of the Northeast Human Services Authority, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing her 2012 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 217 days late. |
|
|
This matter was previously considered at the Board's January meeting at which the Board declined to waive. However, after the Board meeting, the staff obtained information from the Northeast Human Services Authority showing that this board does not have the authority to expend, disburse, or invest $10,000 or more in funds in a fiscal year. As such, the members are not required to file annual personal financial disclosure statements.

The notice of delinquency shall inform the person that the financial statement must be filed, or that the information must be disclosed or accurately disclosed, or that a written answer contesting the allegation of such failure, omission, or inaccuracy must be filed no later than seven (7) business days after receipt of the notice of delinquency.
