Request that the Board waive a $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Nicole Ybarra, a candidate for Councilman, District 3, City of Leesville, Vernon Parish, in the March 24, 2018 election, whose 2018 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 96 days late. |

Nicole Ybarra states that during this time frame she was out of state with her son who was receiving treatment for his medical conditions. Her son has nine specialists and they range in location from Jackson, MS to New Orleans, LA. Her son has many medical conditions and had to be hospitalized for multiple surgeries this year along with lengthy hospital stays and many trips out of town for appointments. Apparently, she states that she had started filling out this form and had to leave town unexpectedly and it slipped her mind when she returned home. If her fees cannot be waived, she is asking that they be reduced because her family has a large amount of hospital bills and travel expenses that they already have to pay.
