Dear Ms. Zeledon,

I respectfully take issue with characterization the documents requested in item #5 as intra-agency or inter-agency. They are neither. They were produced by a vendor contracted by the city. Please reconsider this denial of access and provide the designs and other documents produced by the firm. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil
