Waiver request submitted by Don Lawrence O'Toole, Sr., with the West Monroe Convention and Visitors Bureau, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2017 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 190 days late. |
|
Mr. O'Toole states as follows:
Mr. O'Toole is requesting a waiver of $1500 for the untimely filing of his 2017 Tier 2.1 Annual Disclosure Statement. Mr. O'Toole suffered from a stroke in February 2018, which has limited his activities. After 20 years of service, Mr. O'Toole stated he has had to resign from the board due to his health. Mr. O'Toole has submitted a letter from Dr. Theresa Ross, of the Affinity Health Group, as his supporting documentation. This is Mr. O'Toole's first late filing and late fee and he "humbly asks" for the Board's consideration.
