Waiver request submitted by Lloyd Kirtland, member of the Grant Parish Police Jury, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2009 Tier 3 annual pfd 308 days late and a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2010 Tier 3 annual pfd 308 days late. |

Mr. Kirtland is no longer a member of the police jury. He confused the personal financial disclosure requirements with the requirements to file campaign finance disclosure reports. He thought that since he did not receive any contributions nor make any expenditures, he was not required to file and he did not read the notices sent by the staff.
Mr. Kirtland also states that he is the primary caretaker for his wife, who has suffered heart failure, undergone open heart surgery, suffered a stroke, and she has had complications for the last 9 months. Mr. Kirtland is 81 years old and has his own issues to deal with. The only source of income is his social security and the medical bills are exhausting their life savings. He cannot afford to hire anyone to help him care for his wife.
