RE:
Answer filed by Melanie Thompson in response to a notice of delinquency.
Facts:
Melanie Thompson is a member of the Kingswood Improvement District. The Kingswood Improvement District was created by La. R.S. 33:9079. Ms. Thompson received a notice of delinquency on November 9, 2012 requesting she file her 2009, 2010 and 2011 Tier 2.1 annual pfds. Ms. Thompson alleges that although she is a member of the Board, that since she is not an officer, she is not required to file.

Law:
La. R.S. 42:1124.4 of the Code provides that upon discovery of the failure to file, failure to timely file, omission of information or inaccurate information, the Board shall notify the filer by sending him a notice of delinquency by certified mail. The notice of delinquency shall inform the person that the financial statement must be filed, or that the information must be disclosed or accurately disclosed, or that a written answer contesting the allegation of such failure, omission, or inaccuracy must be filed no later than fourteen (14) business days after receipt of the notice of delinquency.
La. R.S. 42:1124.2.1 requires financial disclosure for each member and designee of a board or commission which has the authority to expend, disburse or invest $10,000 or more of funds in a fiscal year on or before May 15th of each year during which the person holds office and the year following termination of the holding of such office.

Recommendations:
Advise Ms. Thompson she must file her 2009, 2010 and 2011 Tier 2.1 annual pfds.

Assigned Attorney: Tracy Barker
