Marshall A. Hevron is requesting waiver on behalf of Nicole Finkbeiner served on the Board of NOMMA from 5/30/2017-7/23/2019. She moved to Spring, TX after resigning from the Board. The NOD was sent to her previous Metairie, LA address on 3/4/2021, even though she left a forwarding address with the USPS. She later received a LFO at her Spring, TX address. Mr. Hevron states that had Ms. Finkbeiner received the NOD, she would have complied. She understands that public service comes with responsibilities. Her failure to file was an oversight and not an intentional act. Given these circumstances, Mr. Hevron asks that you waive the late fee. Attached is proof of Ms. Finkbeiner's address during the time the LFO was delivered.
