As Records Custodian for PPCC, I am acknowledging receipt of the below request. Please be advised that PPCC charges $30/hour beyond the first hour for research, retrieval and review for open records requests. The College will not charge a per page fee for electronic transfers. Payment must be received prior to me sending you the requested information.

Please let me know if these terms and charges are acceptable. Should the college need approval for more time to fulfill the request, we would reach out to you to get your permission to proceed.

The college will wait to hear from you before we begin collection efforts.

Please send all future open records request to me as the Custodian of Records.

Hello Beryl,

Sorry for the delayed response since our phone call. In addition to being out for Thanksgiving holiday break, I unfortunately caught the flu and was out due to illness.

Below is a list of documents that we can provide. Please be aware that Mr. Riddle has been in our employ since the year 2001 and Mr. DeHerrera has been in our employ since 2006. Consequently, their personnel files contain a voluminous amount of documentation.

* Employment Agreements and Faculty Contracts
* Faculty Rank Request
* Temporary Part Time (Adjunct) Employment Agreements (most of our regular faculty teach additional courses outside of their regular contract load)
* Project Release or Overload Agreements
* Original Application (resume and cover letter)
* Colorado State Board Credentials
* Evaluation Ratings
* Personnel Action Documents (i.e. Division Transfer documents and the like)
* Innovation Grant records related to Mr. Riddle's employment (including Time and Effort reports). According to our Grants Director this search and review alone involves 3,000 documents and add an addition $120.00 in costs.

Please let me know if you have a few minutes to discuss.

Thank you.

Hello Beryl,

Hello,

Sorry for any confusion. My understanding was that Beryl would let me know which of the below highlighted documents she wanted us to produce. The associated cost would vary based upon which documents were selected. The January 6, 2020 reference was related to the date I was returning from the Christmas/New Year's holiday break and college closure.

Can we schedule a quick phone call so that we can get this request back on track?

Thank you.

Hello,

Transcripts and degree certificates are not subject to disclosure under CORA because they are part of the employee's personnel file pursuant to Colorado Revised Statute 24-72-202<tel:24-72-202>(4.5) and 24-72-204<tel:24-72-204>(3)(a)(II)(A) and constitute scholastic achievement data pursuant to Section 27-72-204<tel:27-72-204>(3)(a)(I) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Regarding outside employment disclosures, these documents are obtained because of the employer/employee relationship and are not considered relevant to taxpayers' right to know about the inner working of state government. Therefore, they will not be disclosed.

The above items were not listed below because they are not subject to disclosure.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you.
