RE:
Waiver request submitted by Parker Gentry Brown, Shreveport Implementation & Redevelopment Authority, regarding a $150 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 3 days late.
Facts:
Parker Brown takes his appointment with the Shreveport Implementation and Redevelopment Authority (SIRA) seriously, and he would like to apologize. SIRA has no bank account. They don't have funding for the city and are fighting to receive it. He immediately filed the 2020 and 2021 disclosures after receiving the notice. The 2022 and 2023 disclosures have been filed as well. Mr. Brown will pay the fine if deemed necessary. Still, he would appreciate you taking the time to consider granting a waiver since no financial assets are passing through the authority he represents. He would like to apologize for the delay.
