Waiver request submitted by Robert Green, Jr. regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2012 Hospital Disclosure Statement 92 days late. |
|
Robert Green is a member of the North Caddo Hospital Service District Board of Commissioners. As such, if he has an immediate family member employed by the District, he is required to disclose such information on an annual basis. The disclosure statements are due on or before January 30 each year. A reminder notice was sent to the Service District on December 12, 2011. Mr. Green did file his disclosure statement, due on or before January 30, 2012, until May 1, 2012, 92 days late.
Mr. Green states that the reminder notice was addressed to a Director that has not been employed with the Service District for several years. Further, he states the reminder notice was mailed to the physical address, not the mailing address.
