Hello Samuel,

We looked into your public records request. We estimate it will take approximately 4 hours to compile the data, redact and have the attorney review. You get the first 2 hours for free. We charge $29.25 an hour for each addition hour. With the total of 4 hours minus the 2 free hours- we estimate that the cost would be $58.50. We would need the fee paid before we would compile the information.

Please let us know how you would like to proceed.

Thank you,

Good morning.

Alisa Gulley, Police Department Records, is the primary contact for your request. As noted by the email string below, there was a research cost that needed to be paid before the additional research could be performed. We received your payment last week, and Alisa began compiling the records/information.

In speaking with Alisa this morning, she indicated that the research has been completed, and the responsive document(s) are under review by our City Attorney. As soon as legal review is complete, she will provide the records to you.

Thank you for your patience through this process.

Angie
