Dear Northwestside Coalition:
I received your follow up and have attached the files that are readied for release. We are having issues with the emails due to the size of the request. I am working with our IT in trying to convert these files to a workable PDF format, which I have had issues doing to this point due to the number of emails. I will keep you updated to the progress. I will let you know if we would need you to narrow the scope of this request, or if we may need more time to process.
Sincerely,
Chris Kobeski
