Waiver request submitted by Mr. Wayne McCormick, with the Lake Forest Estates Improvement Association, Orleans, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2016 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 166 days late. |
|
Mr. McCormick states that he inherited the treasurer position on this neighborhood board because the former treasurer did not return after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He was not aware that he was to file a PFD and did not file one until 2016. He states that he believes he sent his PFD three times before the board actually received it. He is asking for a waiver of the late fee.
