| Waiver request submitted by Chuck Kinney, a former member of the West Calcasieu Parish Community Center, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2012 Tier 2.1 Annual PFD 326 days late. |
|
Mr. Kinney states he no longer serves on the board. He also states that he filed the disclosure statement as instructed (on December 16, 2014) and, therefore asks that the late fee be waived.
Mr. Kinney's service ended on December 31, 2012; therefore, the 2012 pfd was his last report due the year following the termination of his office.

Suspend all but $500 based on future compliance with the reporting requirements under the Code of Ethics. The $500 is payable within 30 days and if payment is not received within 30 days, the full amount of the late fee becomes due and owing.
