If you need to update your request, please respond to this email advising what you need updated.  Also, please do not send the same request using different methods to transmit the request (mail, fax, phone, etc.), or to different offices or institutions as this will slow down the process as well.

Your request will be assigned to the relevant department(s) and custodians to locate the information you seek and determine the volume of responsive records and any costs associated with satisfying your request. You will be contacted about the availability and/or provided with copies of the records in question.  If there is a cost associated with your request, prior to any records being prepared for release, you will need to make payment on the invoice that is issued in response to the responsive records. Once payment is received, the responsive records will be prepared for release, including the redaction of information that is exempt from public record.  This process will be done in order of payment receipt.
