Request to reconsider the Board's decision to decline to waive the $1,500 late fee assessed against David K. Jarreau, former member of the Pointe Coupee Parish Tourist Commission, for filing his 2020 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 615 days late. |
|
Mr. Jarreau has submitted a request for reconsideration as he has been out of work on worker's compensation due to an accident on his job and he is currently unable to pay the fine. His spouse is also out of work due an injury to her hand. Supporting documentation was request but not received.
Initial Information:
David K. Jarreau resigned from the Pointe Coupee Parish Tourist Board in May 2020. He was not aware of the notification nor was he on the Board at the time the report was due to his recollection. He does not know the exact date the notice was received. Mr. Jarreau does not know the exact date that he retired or what the time frame is to be considered eligible to submit the disclosure. He respectfully asks that the fine be waived as he was not on the Board for over half of 2020.
