| Waiver request submitted by Kent Schexnaydre, a member of the Ascension Parish Council, regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for filing a R.S. 42:1114.3 disaster or emergency contract disclosure 115 days late. |
|
Kent Schexnaydre is a member of the Ascension Parish Council. He is also the owner of Schexnaydre Restoration and Construction, LLC. In an abundance of caution, Mr. Schexnaydre filed this R.S. 42:1114.3 disaster disclosure statement disclosing his receipt of funds through his company pursuant to a contract between his company and the Town of Grand Isle.
The contract provides for the construction of a new maintenance and storage facility. It came Mr. Schexnaydre's attention that the contract was being paid through a grant from FEMA. However, the contract was not entered into as a result of or related to a gubernatorially declared disaster or emergency.
