| Waiver request submitted by Kenneth John Kimberly, former member of the St. Tammany Parish Fire Protection - District 12, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2014 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 162 days late. |

Mr. Kimberly states that he did not intentionally file the disclosure statement late. He states that he had heart surgery in 2015 and he suffers from atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) even subsequent to his surgery. He states that as a result, this puts him under stress and his health has become his priority.
A request for supporting documentation was sent to Mr. Kimberly on May 26, 2016. No response has been received.
