Janna,

I am specifically requesting any communication that City Council members have had with any of the previously named individuals or organizations. The title of my request was made in error, and I apologize for any confusion stemming from that. The nature of my request could be described as "communications between police union representatives/members and City Council members" within the dates named in the request - December 1, 2014 to August 18, 2015. The list I have provided in my initial request is simply an enumeration of the various names and email addresses associated with police unions - people/groups whom if they contacted city council, that communication would fall under my request.

My understanding is that, for example, an email between a police union representative and the city council would be a record held by the city council.

I very much appreciate your timely response, and please let me know if I can help you to further clarify this request.

sincerely,
Christopher Schiano
