Good Morning,

I do apologize for not getting back with you sooner in reference to this request. It has been over four months and there is no excuse for this delay. The City suffered a security breach on August 4th, 2024 which has limited our resources to complete any type of request. I am not able to provide you a timeframe as to when the City will be 100% funtional.

Once access is obtained to our Records system, I will keep you up to date on the progress of your request.

Thank you for your patience.

Good Afternoon,

The IT department is still working throughout different departments to restore computer access to the different software. The Records division still does not have access to provide you the information you are requesting. We do not have a time frame as to when the City will be 100% functional.

Thank you for your patience.
