RE:
Request that the Board waive the $200 and $400 campaign finance late fees assessed against Sharmita S. Rideau, a candidate for Westlake City Council, Division B in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 10-G report was filed 5 days late and 40-G report was filed 11 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Sharmita Rideau states that she filled out the wrong form for the 40-G report and corrected it immediately when she was notified. She also states that the 10-G report was late because it was due during the Thanksgiving holiday and the mail did not run.
