| Request that the Board waive the $2,600 campaign finance late fee assessed against LA 360 PAC, a political action committee, its committee's chairperson, Andrew Kolb in the November 8, 2022 election, whose 30-P campaign finance disclosure report was filed 13 days late. |
|
Andrew C. Kolb, chairperson for LA 360 PAC, requests a waiver and states the following: Leigh Davis was hired to file reports for the LA 360 PAC as a consultant. On October 12, 2022, Ms. Davis notified Mr. Kolb that the 30-P report should have been filed the day before. Although Mr. Kolb provided Ms. Davis with the necessary information on the same day, the report was not filed until October 24, 2022. Neither the PAC nor Mr. Kolb had been informed of the 12-day delay until they received the Late Fee Order. To ensure compliance and avoid late filings in the future, remedial actions have been taken with the consultant regarding processes and procedures. Mr. Kolb would like to ask for a waiver of the fee and wishes to appear before the Board.
