Waiver request submitted by Dacoda Bartels, former member of the Lafayette Economic Development Authority (LEDA), regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 90 days late. |

Dacoda Bartels received guidance from a BOE representative on how to file his report online. After filing on 3/20/2024, he confirmed that it had been submitted. He was confused when he received the LFO. Mr. Bartels is proud to serve his community as a member of the Lafayette Economic Development Authority and the Louisiana Advanced Aviation and Drone Advisory Committee, both of which require annual disclosure filings. He has never had a history of filing untimely and does not plan to in the future.
