Dear Joey Scott,
While processing this request, one of the departments involved is requesting clarification on one of the bullets.
Can you please clarify what fund you are referring to on this statement: " Records and data that outlines what was purchased using money from the fund, including dates, descriptions, and total spent." LBPD has multiple funds.
Thank you.
