| Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Thomas J. Capella, a candidate for Jefferson Parish Assessor in the October 24, 2015 Election, whose 180-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 31 days late. |

In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, David Sherman, report preparer for Thomas Capella, states that during the period covered by the 180-P report, no contributions were received and no expenditures were made. As a result of this lack of activity, the Committee's treasurer mistakenly believed that the 180-P report did not have to be filed. Also, the Notice of Delinquency that was sent to Mr. Capella was dated May 1, 2015, but it was not delivered until May 18, 2015.
