Waiver request submitted by Carl Wayne Smith, City of Oberlin Alderman at Large / Allen Parish, regarding a $125 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 3 annual pfd 5 days late. |
|
|
Carl Wayne Smith stated he was out of town on a business trip and vacation when the notice was issued/received. He was not informed or reminded by the city staff to file his report. Mr. Smith submitted a waiver request referencing his Quarterly Purchasing Plan Affidavit. However, his late fee assessment is for failing to file his 2020 Annual PFD Statement late, not the Quarterly Affidavit. His documentation supports him being out of town when the LFO was issued/delivered but does not support when the NOD-FF letter was issued/delivered in October 2021.
