Dear Ms. Zumbana,
Thanks for the record in response to my request for the 2024 pay information for each municipal employee. However, it appears to be in an unwieldy file format, a .pdf file containing more than 7,000 pages, most of which are blank. Can you please provide the same information in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet?
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
Good Afternoon,
I will check with payroll. But just so you are aware we cannot makeup a report you receive it in the format that the report is available.
Thank you,
Nancy Zumbana

Dear Ms. Zumbana,
Circling back to your March 28, 2025 message regarding T000193-030325.
What was the result of your check with payroll on this request? As you may recall, I requested the record in a Microsoft Excel file because the 7000+ page pdf provided is unwieldy.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
Good Morning,
Can the payroll report attached be sent through an excel speadsheet?
