| Request that the Board waive the $320 campaign finance late fee assessed against William H. Egan, a candidate for St. Bernard Parish School Board, District 2 in the September 30, 2006 election, whose 2015 supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 8 days late. |

In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, William Egan states that he thought his late fee notice meant he owed a report from September 30, 2006. He did not have records from that time period because his office and files were destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. After speaking with the office, he understood that the notice was really for a 2015 supplemental report for the September 30, 2006 election.
