Waiver request submitted by Richard Sheffield "Rick" Danielson, Mandeville City Council / St. Tammany Parish & St. Tammany Parish Recreation District / District 1, regarding a $1800 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2023 Tier 2 annual pfd 18 days late. |

Richard Danielson has filed all the required annual disclosures consistently since taking office in 2009. Unfortunately, he inadvertently failed to include his salary as a city council member. Once aware of the issue, he took immediate action to correct it. Mr. Danielson received the notice, but due to his responsibilities and extended travel schedule, he did not see or open the letter until after the deadline. He spoke with a BOE representative on 11/3/2025 and submitted the forms on the same day. Mr. Danielson has made every effort to comply, and his history reflects that commitment. He would like to thank you for your time and consideration.
