Dear Mr. Kratovil,
I am working diligently to fill your OPRA request and I have most of it
completed. I am seeking an extension of 10 business days. I should have
most items to you by tomorrow; however, our ability to generate reports is
not as robust as your request. To complete this request, I will be
sending you multiple spreadsheets.
Will you approve this request for extension?

Dear Mr. Kratovil,
Attached please find our response to your OPRA request.
I have provided my response in an Excel document as you requested.
The only area where I was unable to provide information was item #5.
This information was deemed exempt due to reasons surrounding employee
discipline.
Regarding #7, I was able to provide information but not 100% because our
current software does not track “Stated Purpose”.
Thank you for your patience.
Tom
