Vickie Briscoe is the Clerk for the Town of Basile. She also serves on the LA Municipal Gas Authority, which is the position that requires her to file annual pfds. Ms. Briscoe received a notice of delinquency on March 24, 2011. It was not until October 25, 2011, that she transmitted correspondence regarding her failure to file, she had already accrued the maximum late fee. Ms. Briscoe did not think she needed to file since the clerk position is appointed, not elected. However, it was her board position that requires her to file. She finally filed the report on January 4, 2012.
