Ms. Horn contacted this agency on or about June 17, 2016 requesting a refund for her payment related to the disclosure statement at issue. Ms. Horn is requesting that the Board reconsider its decision to issue a late fee related to the late filing. Ms. Horn has submitted information that both the Cameron Parish Fire Protection District No. 9 and the Cameron Parish Waterworks District No. 9, both on which she serves, were created by ordinance of Cameron Parish. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Cameron Parish has a population of 6,839. As such, these boards do not meet the definition of "board or commission" under R.S. 42:1124.2.1 and she is not required to file.
