Dear Ms. Cornella,

Regarding the records produced, a resolution and a spreadsheet, neither record include the names of the employees, which makes it hard to understand who was paid each amount. The resolution also does not account for individuals who did not work the full year and therefore would receive total payments below the annual salary numbers. It also is unclear how many employees are on staff in each position.

Can you please provide a record that includes the names of each employee and how much they were paid? Thanks very much.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil
