RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed Glenn Lazard, a candidate for City Council Member, District 5, City of Lafayette in the October 12, 2019 election, whose 40-G campaign finance disclosure report was not filed.
Facts:


Elaine Lazard, the spouse of Glenn Lazard, recently received the Late fee assessment for the October 12, 2019 election regarding the late filing of the 40-G Campaign Finance Disclosure Report. She states that Mr. Lazard was hospitalized for a medical condition at the time the report was due.

Note: Staff has spoken to Mr. Lazard personally during this matter, as we are currently pursing him as an enhanced penalty case for failure to file. He is back in Lafayette after finishing his treatment, and has attended every City Council meeting this year.
