Untimely request the Board reconsider its decision to decline to waive the $500 late fee assessed against Angela Ann (Cleveland) Burch, Aldermen / Village of Stanley / Desoto Parish, for filing her 2023 Tier 3 annual pfd 143 days late. |
|
Original Request:
Alderman Angela Ann Cleveland serves for the Village of Stanley. She began serving in 2021. She has filed every year and believed the 2023 disclosure had been submitted. Ms. Cleveland hopes you will take her request seriously, given that she holds a volunteer position.
Reconsideration Request:
Alderman Angela Ann Burch has volunteered for the Village of Stanley in DeSoto Parish since 2021. She is a full-time teacher, solely caring for three kids. Ms. Burch does not receive compensation, and this fee would be a financial burden. She is not sure if she received the qualifying packet that year. Her sworn-in date is also debatable. Ms. Burch believed the disclosure had already been filed, since the packets are due for the previous year. Please take into consideration that her previous disclosures have been filed. Her reason for filing the waiver request untimely was due to the fax machine being down, which she was unaware of at that time. Ms. Burch would like to request an appearance.
