Please be advised that your request, as written, is unduly burdensome and compliance could not be completed without interfering with the daily operations of Cook County. We had the Bureau of Technology run an electronic search for records and found over 1,800 emails that are responsive to your request. While your request is just for the metadata of these emails, this data still requires review to make any necessary redactions pursuant to appropriate exemptions under the Act. The Office of the President does not have the capacity to review over 1,800 data entries any possible redactions without disrupting our daily operations and delaying other important work.
In accordance with section 3(g) of the Act, I ask that you contact me in order to discuss a reasonable reduction of your request.
Thank you,
Rachel
