I have replied to this message several times and have received no response
from you.
I am in the process of pulling the emails that may be responsive to this
request. Due to the way the City's emails are archived, I have to do 80
individual searches in order to search each search term for each person.
This will take several weeks to complete. Once completed, I will send you
any responsive records.
All best,
