Suspended Buffalo Fire Department clerk resigns after being paid to not work for 7 years

A suspended Buffalo Fire Department clerk, who was paid $600,000 over seven years while on suspension, resigned from her city job effective Nov. 30.

Jill Repman has three days left that she will be paid for in the coming payroll, Demone Smith, special assistant to Buffalo Comptroller Barbara Miller-Williams, told The Buffalo News.

Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown’s administration will roll out new policies and procedures to track city employees on paid leave.

โ€œThen she will be out of the system,โ€ Smith said.

Reached by phone, Repman told The Buffalo News she had no comment other than, โ€œI never did any of the accusations. I just decided I wanted to retire.โ€

Repman had been paid more than half a million dollars by the city since 2016, when she was accused of tampering with the Fire Departmentโ€™s payroll in order to pad her own paychecks and was placed on administrative leave, according to a Sept. 14 story posted online by Investigative Post.
