Brandon Lee Brener would like to apologize for the errors made in his disclosure. He had recently joined the Fire Department Board on a voluntary basis. Due to the COVID pandemic, all their meetings were conducted remotely in his first few months. This transition, coupled with a change in secretarial staff, led to the oversight. Mr. Brener received help from the BOE staff to correct his inaccuracies and submit the disclosure. Given these circumstances, he would like to kindly request a waiver of the assessed late fee. Mr. Brener is fully aware of the proper procedures and will ensure compliance in the future.
