RE:
Waiver request submitted by Daniel "Danny" Lipari, former member of the St. Mary Levee District, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 89 days late.
Facts:
Daniel Lipari understands how essential timelines are and would like to apologize for missing one. He was unable to complete the disclosure on time because he misplaced the paperwork during a move and a busy work week. It has been submitted, and he is also completing the paperwork for the 2024 disclosure. Mr. Lipari would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and request a waiver of the assessed late fee.
