Mr. Meese is requesting reconsideration stating that the Board's staff has not kept track of Mr. Scott's filings, that the staff lost Mr. Scott's filing; therefore, it issued the Notice of Delinquency (NOD).
Initial Waiver Request:
As the Chief Executive Officer of Lane Regional Medical Center (Lane), Larry Meese is submitting a waiver request on behalf of Thomas L. Scott, Jr. Mr. Scott has served as the Board Chair for Lane's Board of Commissioners for six years. This is his first occurrence of an issue related to the late filing of any required forms. He is now current with his requirements. Mr. Meese would like to thank you for your consideration and kindly request a waiver of the assessed late fee.
