| Request that the Board waive a $400 campaign finance late fee assessed against Mark "Dave" Freneaux, a candidate for Council Member, District 3, City of Central, East Baton Rouge Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 15 days late. |

Mark "Dave" Freneaux states that he mistakenly believed that his 10-P and special reports met the filing requirements. There were no additional transactions reported on the 10-G which was untimely filed. He is hopeful that his showing of good faith by always filing on time, his immediate filing of the 10-G when he became aware of the requirement, and the fact that there were no additional transactions to report, will give the Board sufficient cause to waive the $400 late filing fee.
