RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fees assessed against LA Loggers PAC, a political action committee, its committee's chairperson, Josh McAllister, and treasurer, Spencer Garr, whose June 2019 Monthly campaign finance reports was filed 5 days late.
Facts:


William Cary Koch, report preparer for PAC, requests a waiver and states the following:

Not only was this the first PAC he has ever created, but this is the very first report filed, and he remembers working tirelessly and with the Board of Ethics staff to better understand the electronic filing system during the reportable period. He now is fully aware and able to use the online system, as he has been the preparer for the LA Loggers PAC since it opened in March of 2019.
