Waiver request submitted by Wendy O'Quin-Perrette, Mayor of Bogalusa, Washington Parish (Pop. 12,232), regarding a $1300 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2017 Tier 2 annual pfd 13 days late. |
|
Ms. O'Quin-Perette is disputing the late fee because she claims that she received her NOD late due to a change in her address. She states that she completed the proper change of address forms with the post office but her NOD, which required a response by 11/6/18, was not delivered to her new address until 11/19/18. She claims that she called the board to inform the staff that she had not received her NOD. Comments in Filemaker indicate that MS. O'quin-Perette did call; however, she informed staff that she had moved and misplaced her NOD. The amendment was filed on 11/19/18.
