At the January 2015 meeting, the Board suspended all but $500 of a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 311 days late.

Mr. Parfait is still in office with his current term set to expire in 2020.
Original Information:
Mr. Parfait is requesting a waiver due to his income. He receives $939 in social security benefits. He receives $208.74 monthly from Terrebonne Parish. He also presented a list of medications of his wife, 10 medications, that he must fill each month and 6 medications for himself.
