[See Editor’s Note](April 2021) Request for City of Salisbury, NC employee(s) emails 07/01/20 – 04/02/21

[REDACTED]

Editor’s Note: Sunshine Request makes no claim as to the veracity of any statements or information contained in any of the requests, or public records, we receive.

Editor’s Note 04/09/21: We recently received 10 submissions requesting nearly identical (and in many cases, identical) information about various Salisbury, NC employee emails and texts.

We have reviewed the contents of each request, and in order to simplify things we have “Closed” them all – We have merged them into one mutli-part request, below.

In the case of Daniel Landcaster, this was the only employee listed where the requester indicated a different start date (07/01/19), that did not match all other employees listed (start date 07/01/20 or 07/02/20). We will assume this was an error, and will be requesting all responsive info beginning on 07/01/20.

The request we send to Salisbury, NC Gov will read as follows:


Subject: (April 2021) Request for City of Salisbury, NC employee(s) emails 07/01/20 – 04/02/21

Message:

Hi City of Salisbury, NC Government (Records Officer),

I’d like to make a multi-part, public records request for the following information.

This is 10 requests total. However, for simplicity I’ve sent them as 1 large request here. To keep things organized (and hopefully to avoid any confusion), I’d ask that you please respond to each of the 10 items, using the same email chain with Sunshine Request, until the request has been completed. Please do not create 10 separate communication threads to track. Thank you!

Please include all of those additional documents where applicable, as relates to the requested information above.

    Good afternoon Kelly,

     

    Thank you for this update. Sunshine Request cannot commit to covering any fees / associated costs related to any requests on our site. Additionally, it sounds like the scope of records that would need to be reviewed to complete this request is too large. At this time we will mark this request as completed on our site and will leave it up to the original requester to pursue this request further on their own if they choose to do so.

     

    Appreciate your assistance!

    Good afternoon,

     

    There are over 1.5 million records in this request.  If I am able to review 1,000 per day, and given there are approximately 261 work days in a year, it will take over 5 years to complete the request.

     

    Also, we will have to purchase an external storage device to transmit the records to you when they are available.  I can let you know the cost of the device when I am closer to completing the review of the records.

     

    Thank you,
    Kelly Baker

    I have received the request and it is in process. I don’t have a timeframe for its completion due to the volume of records included.
