Alesia M. Ardoin is submitting a waiver request on behalf of Shawn Gibbs. Captain Gibbs served as a member of the Pilotage Fee Commission from December 2021 through December 2022. In 2023, he received his first correspondence from the LBOE. He attempted to contact the staff member who signed the notice to let her know that he was no longer on the Commission and that the notice must have been created in error. Captain Gibbs also requested that his file with BOE be updated to reflect that he was no longer on the Commission. He later received a notice and spoke with a BOE representative who directed him to the forms he needed to file. The disclosure was immediately filed.
