S ubject: RE: 87200 Non - Filer
Good afternoon Shawna,
The referral for her 2016 Annual is still open. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide you with resolution date. However,
if she is referred for her failure to file her 2017 Annual, that referral will be included with the open case.
Hope that answers your questions.
You mentioned that her non - filing could affect her role on the planning commission. If by chance she is removed from
the planning commission, please provide us with the date when she leave s office.

Hello Shawna,
I'm not sure about the status of this referral because it is handled by a different division.
I've made a note that she has not filed her statement for this year, so she'll receive a non - filer notice.
Cheers,

Hello Brianne, Do you have an update on this 87200 non - filing? I'm concerned that we have not received her annual

Subject: RE: 87200 Non - Filer
Good morning,
I apologize for not responding sooner, but I' ve been swamped with logging.
I sent Ms. Armendariz multiple notices to file, including a final warning email. She was referred to our Enforcement
division on 11/3/17. I'm not sure what the status is because the referral is handled by a different divisio n.
I'll make a note that she has not filed her form this year when I start my non - filer process.
Thank you and let me know if you have any questions!
Cheers,

Hello, 87200 filer Rebeca Armendariz has not filed her SEI for calendar year 2017 by the statutory deadline of April 2nd,
though my offi ce has notified her of this filing obligation on 3 occasions.
We also did not receive a SEI from her for calendar year 2016, and referred this non filing to your enforcement division.
The attached letter was sent in September, 2017, but I have not receiv ed a SEI, and have not heard back from your
offices to know if you received it from her directly.
I have called and left a voice message with the author of this enforcement letter - Brianne Kilbane. Please contact me at
your earliest convenience to discus s this with me.
