RE:
Waiver request submitted by Ronnie Carter Gregoire, Albany Town Council / Albany / Livingston Parish, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his 2022 Tier 3 annual pfd N/A days late.
Facts:
Devin Gregoire is submitting a waiver request for his father, Ronnie Gregoire. In 2021, Ronnie Gregoire suffered a severe stroke that resulted in a significant loss of mental capacity. He has been unable to manage personal and financial affairs and resides in a nursing home full-time. Previously, the town of Albany assisted with his disclosures. For unknown reasons, the final disclosure was not filed. This oversight was unintentional. Devin Gregoire appreciates your understanding and consideration of this request
