Waiver request submitted by Thomas H. "Tommy" Hill Sr., with the Benton Board of Aldermen, District 5- Bossier Parish (Pop. 1948), regarding a $750 late fee assessed for filing his 2016 Tier 3 annual pfd 15 days late. |
|
Town Clerk Stephanie Collier stated that when Mr. Hill received the NOD, he went to town hall and asked for assistance. Ms. Collier explained that she assured Mr. Hill that she would take care of it. Ms. Collier further explained that at that time she was very busy with other town business and unfortunately, did not respond to the NOD in a timely manner.
Ms. Collier asks that the board consider waiving the late fee as it was not Mr. Hill's intention to file the PFD late. She also stated "...and if necessary be assessed against myself for the delayed actions were not of Mr. Hill's; they were mine."
