| Waiver request submitted by Charles "Chuck" Clack, Coroner - Caldwell Parish, regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for filing his Amended 2012 Tier 2 Annual PFD 272 days late. |
|
Mr. Clack states that he amended the disclosure statement shortly after being contacted by an agency employee. He further states that the $2,500 late fee equals to about five months of pay that he receives from the parish.
A NOD-amend was issued for his failure to properly disclose income received as coroner. It was disclosed by category. Typically, this type of late fee is waived with the first late filing. However, since he has one other late filing, staff would recommend to suspend all.
