| Reconsideration of a waiver request submitted by Wardell Bourgeois, a former member of the New Orleans Regional Business Park, regarding a $1250 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2009 Tier 2.1 PFD 25 days late. |
|
|
Mr. Bourgeois timely filed his annual pfd; however, the filing came in sideways. The staff requested Mr. Bourgeois resubmit his pfd. Mr. Bourgeois resubmitted it 25 days late. He stated that he was half displaced from Katrina and resides in Houston, traveling back and forth between Houston and New Orleans. After the the board consider his waiver request, it does not appear there is proof Mr. Bourgeois received the waiver result letter.
