Waiver request submitted by Gordon Smith Jr., Nineteenth Louisiana Levee District, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 383 days late. |
|
|
Gordon Smith states this is his first time seeing this particular financial statement form. In the past, he received a form inquiring if any income is received from any public entity. If he previously received it, he does not recall completing the statement. Therefore, he believes the fee should be waived. Mr. Smith states that if this form needs to be filled out annually he will resign from his position as a Board Member of the 19th Louisiana Levee District. He states this is not pertinent to the performance of his duties.
