| Waiver request submitted by John Lester Koch, III, former member of the New Orleans Industrial Development Board, regarding a $800 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 16 days late. |
|
Mr. Koch requests that his waiver request be granted because he served on the board without compensation. He also states that prior to this late filing, he was timely in filing all other disclosure statements. Mr. Koch states that he failed to timely file the disclosure statement because at the time the 2011 disclosure statement was due (May 2012), his service had ended. The due date for filing his 2011 PFD was May 15, 2012.
A review of the database indicates that Mr. Koch filed his 2011 and 2012 PFDs on August 1, 2013.
