RE:
Waiver request submitted by Kristen "Krissy" Sienna Carter Jolly, Clarks Board of Aldermen / Caldwell Parish, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing her 2023 Tier 3 annual pfd 162 days late.
Facts:
Kristen Jolly received the delinquency notice, but her failure to file on time was an oversight. She was not actively serving in 2023, so she was unaware that she was required to file. Her appointment began on March 11, 2024. Please consider her request as this will create a financial burden. Ms. Jolly has filed the disclosure and would like to request that the fine be waived, suspended, or reduced.
