| Request that the Board waive the $1,400 campaign finance late fee assessed against the Sheet Metal Workers Local 214 PAC Fund, a political action committee, its committee's chairperson, Damien Salassi and treasurer, Paul Howard, whose April 2016 monthly report was filed 7 days late. |

Charles F. Mulcahy, a representative of the Sheet Metal Workers Local PAC Fund, states that some confusion existed as to who was responsible for the monthly campaign finance disclosure report. He states that Local 214 thought the Council was submitting the reports and the Council thought the Local was sending reports to the Board. Moving forward, he states the Regional Council will bear the responsibility for timely filing of all reports due to the Board.
