Waiver request submitted by Matt Milazzo, former member of the Amite River Basin and Water Conservation District, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2019 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 363 days late. |
|
|
On 12/16/2021, Mr. Matt Milazzo contacted BOE regarding his notice of delinquency. After speaking with a representative, he believed that once he sent in his resignation letter dated 7/15/2019 that would resolve his issue of delinquency. He was unaware that he was still in violation until he received a delinquency notice dated 12/12/2022. He would like to request a waiver due to this misunderstanding.
