Waiver request submitted by Mr. Stephen Glenn Taylor, with the Ward II Industrial Board, regarding a $300 late fee assessed for filing his 2017 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 6 days late. |
|
Dr. Taylor states that this late filing was due to an oversight on his part. He states he misplaced the postal reminder slip and by the time he found it and filed his PFD, he was several days late. He states that the board he is on is a voluntary, non-reimbursed board. He believes oversight of the Board of Ethics is proper but that the late fee is excessive and is an incentive not to participate on this board in the future.
