Waiver request submitted on behalf of the members of the East New Orleans Neighborhood Advisory Commission. |
|
Benjamin Diggins, Sr., Ellen Penny, Linda Williams and Lydia Leon are all members of the East New Orleans Neighborhood Advisory Commission. The Commission was created by statute; however, 2012 was the first year the Commission met the financial threshold triggering the filing requirements for its members. The Commission was unsure if its members or the members of its executive board were required to file annual pfds. As such, the Commission requested an opinion from the Board in late May. The staff requested additional information. The request was considered at the Board's August 17th board meeting. The Commission was advised that it needed to file. Notice of delinquencies were issued on August 20th and sent to the Commission's office address, not the individuals home address. It took time for the Commission to distribute the advisory opinion as well as the notice of delinquencies.
