| PFD answer submitted by Cynthia Nuesslein, former member of the Bricolage Academy Charter School Board and the Louisiana Emergency Response Network Board, in response to a NOD requesting she amend her 2015 Tier 3 PFD. |
|
Cindy Nuesslein received a NOD requesting that she amend her 2015 Tier 3 annual pfd to file a 2015 Tier 2.1 annual pfd. Ms. Nuesslein filed an answer stating she is no longer on either board and is not required to amend. However, Ms. Nuesslein's service on the Emergency Response Network Board did not terminate until August 2015 and she is required to file a pfd the year following the termination of her service. Members on the Emergency Response Network Board are required to file under Tier 2.1. As such, she is required to file a 2015 Tier 2.1 pfd.
Further, since Ms. Nuesslein did not terminate her service on the charter school board until May 2016, she will be required to file a 2016 Tier 3 annual pfd by May 15, 2017.
