Waiver request submitted by Travis Ross Beaty, Bossier City Metropolitan Planning Commission, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2021 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 201 days late. |

Travis Beaty is a volunteer member of the Bossier City/Parish Metropolitan Planning Commission and does not receive compensation or reimbursement for expenses. This was the second year he was required to file, but it was an unusually busy time in his personal and professional life. He completely overlooked filing on time. Mr. Beaty acknowledges this is not an excuse, but it is the truth. Reminders have been set for upcoming filing deadlines to avoid this issue in the future. Since he was aware of the filing requirement and failed to file timely, he would like to request a significant reduction of the fee instead of asking that the fee be completely waived. Mr. Beaty believes a $200 fine would be an adequate punishment. This fee would pose significant hardship for him and his family.
