Waiver request submitted by Joseph "Jay" Castille, former member of the Lafayette City-Parish Council, regarding a $1400 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2019 Tier 2 annual pfd 233 days late. |

Jay Castille would like to request a waiver of the fees associated with his 2019 Tier 2 PFD for $2,500. On 9/15/2022, BOE sent a delinquency notice and on 9/29/2022 he filed an amendment. It has been almost three years since he has been out of office and he didn't know anything about needing to file an amendment. Mr. Castille is requesting a waiver of the assessed late fee because of the delay in receiving the notices to file. It seems the mail system is the reason he never received the documents, because they had his address change request, yet he never received anything until 9/15/2022.
