Waiver request submitted by Frank J. Divittorio, Hammond Downtown Development District, regarding a $250 late fee assessed for filing his 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 5 days late. |
|
Frank Divittorio was required to review the records of multiple entities to complete his disclosure, which was not readily available when he received the notice. He attempted to obtain the needed information before the deadline. A supplemental follow-up was not required to comply. Mr. Divittorio believes that two of the days he is being fined for should be excluded since they are non-business days. He mentions that this is a voluntary position that he is not compensated for.
