| Request that the Board waive the $60 campaign finance late fee assessed against Cedric Floyd, an unsuccessful candidate for Member of School Board, District 5, Jefferson Parish, in the November 6, 2018 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was filed 1 day late. |

Cedric Floyd requests a waiver and states the following:
On the evening of November 28, 2018, prior to the deadline, he attempted many times, to log in to file his report. It was after hours and he could not contact our office. He attempted at least 5 times to file his report prior to midnight, but our system did not allow it. Finally, our system did unlock for him prior to midnight (12am) and his report was filed. He asks that the system be checked and it will confirm that his report was filed at 12am, not 1 minute late (12:01am). Please note that in last 30 years, he has run for office or held office many times. During the election cycle (30-P, lO-P, E-Day, SPCL, lO-G, and 40-G) have never been late filing a report (25 plus Reports) even before on-line reporting. Only one time due to oversight, an annual report was not filed timely.
