RE:
PFD answer submitted by Lynn Giordano, former member of the Jefferson Parish Housing Authority, in response to a NOD requesting a 2015 Tier 2.1 pfd.
Facts:
Lynn Giordano received a NOD requesting she file a 2015 Tier 2.1 pfd. She stated that she resigned from the board in December 2014. According to meeting minutes of the housing authority, Ms. Giordano attended and served as chair of the housing authority at least as late as May 2015.
Law:
La. R.S. 42:1124.2.1 requires financial disclosure for each member and designee of a board or commission which has the authority to expend, disburse or invest $10,000 or more of funds in a fiscal year on or before May 15th of each year during which the person holds office and the year following termination of the holding of such office.
La. R.S. 42:1124.4 of the Code provides that upon discovery of the failure to file, failure to timely file, omission of information or inaccurate information, the Board shall notify the filer by sending him a notice of delinquency by certified mail. The notice of delinquency shall inform the person that the financial statement must be filed, or that the information must be disclosed or accurately disclosed, or that a written answer contesting the allegation of such failure, omission, or inaccuracy must be filed no later than seven (7) business days after receipt of the notice of delinquency.
Recommendations:
Advise Lynn Giordano that she is required to file a 2015 Tier 2.1 pfd and that late fees may be assessed for failure to file.
