Waiver request submitted by Carlos Luis Zervigon, Member of School Board / District 6 / Orleans Parish, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2021 Tier 2 annual pfd 34 days late and regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his 2022 Tier 2 annual pfd 47 days late. |

Carlos Luis Zervigon uses a mail service for campaigns and elections and the mail service clerk signed for his amendment notice. Since he does not check the mailbox often between elections, he did not receive the notice until 9/9/2023. Immediately after receiving the notice, he contacted BOE and was given instructions on how to amend and upload the disclosure on 9/12/2023. The mail service clerk has since agreed to contact Mr. Zervigon if he receives certified mail from BOE. Initially, Mr. Zervigon did not know he needed to list his Orleans Parish School Board income. It was his first time filling out a form as an office holder and the first time this has happened. He has made allowances to ensure it won't happen again. Please waive the assessed late fee.
