Mr. Rezende states that his failure to file a 2019 PFD was an oversight on his part. He states that when he received the notice for the 2020 PFD, he assumed all prior disclosures had been filed. He apologizes for the late filing. He states that he is fairly new to the Downtown Development Board and will be more vigilant in the future.
