RE:
Waiver request submitted by Joel Patrick McSpadden, Workforce Development Board, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2021 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 425 days late.
Facts:
Joel McSpadden was asked by the Workforce Development Board (WDB)in 2020 to join as a representative for a new private aviation company, Citadel Completions LLC. Unfortunately, upon joining, he was relieved of his duties surreptitiously on 2/2/2021. Mr.McSpadden had no access to the email or phone numbers of the board since they resided with Citadel, and his access was cut off. He contacted R.B. Smith later that year to explain everything. Mr. McSpadden states that he submitted the 2021-2023 disclosures even though he has not been part of the WDB since January 2021. He would like to apologize and request a waiver of the late fee.
