Good afternoon.
The requested records are over 1000 pages and consists of roughly 200 MB
of data. As such, I can’t send the files through email. They are simply
too large.
I have set up a link for you to access the records from my Shared Folder:
[1]zip icon[2] OPRA-1998-1999TC&LUBMinutes.zip
Please be aware that this is a compressed Zip file. I recommend that you
download the file immediately upon receipt. The link will expire on
Friday, July 24^th.
Have a great day!
