| PFD Answer submitted by Douglas Dodt, member of the Jefferson Parish Emergency Management Advisory Committee. |
|
|
Mr. Dodt received a NOD requesting he file a 2017 Tier 2.1 PFD based on his previous filing with the Board of his 2016 Tier 2.1 PFD. Mr. Dodt responded stating that he filed the 2016 PFD in error based on erroneous advice. He states that although the committee on which he serves does make recommendations to the Jefferson Parish Council regarding the expenditure of Federal Emergency Management Funds, such recommendations are not required to be followed by the Council and no money can be expended without the express approval by the Council.
