RE:
Waiver request submitted by Cassandra Thompson "Cassy" Gebhart, former member of the Natchitoches Historic Development Commission, regarding a$1500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2014 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 581 days late.
Facts:
Ms. Gebhart stated that she thought she had filed the amendment subsequent to receiving the NOD; however, she filed it again once contacted. Ms. Gebhart further stated that she is a single mother of five daughters and it would be virtually impossible for her to pay the $1500 late fee.

Ms. Gebhart request that the late fee be waived.
