Good evening Kim, Kristina, Amy, Paula, Steve, (or Records Officer / Custodian(s) of these records),
Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which I’m making in accordance with NC Public Records Law. https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html
NCGS 14-234(a) describes the creation or administration of contracts by public officers or employees on behalf of a public agency, deriving a direct benefit from a contract, influencing anyone involved in making or administering the contract, solicitation of gifts, receiving favors, promises, etc.
If such a record exists –
Please provide the electronic copy of any contract(s) and agreement(s) executed by Sheriff Aaron Ellenburg on behalf of the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office, where his spouse is an employee, consultant, lobbyist, or independent contractor for the vendor under the contract. During the specific time period of 12/05/2022 through 06/11/2024.
** I’m simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I’m NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to “inspect”, nor to obtain a printed copy of, this electronic record. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copy of this record already exists). If you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for denial is justified under NC Public Records Law. **
