RE:
Waiver request submitted by Lisa Mills, a member of the Hurstville Security District, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing her 2010 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 329 days late.

Ms. Mills inadvertently put calendar year 2010 or her 2009 report, therefore, she thought she had filed her 2010 report timely. Ms. Mills also states that the late fee would create a financial hardship.
