I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Dear Emily: thank you for your OPRA submission below; unfortunately, we
are unable to process your request as “open/closed”, “any/all” permits
is not naming the record, is too broad, and requires clarification. Per
OPRA law we are not required to research records. We request
clarification because “open/closed [any] permits” can be construed as (or
range as) anywhere from a parking permit to a block-party permit, to a
food-handler’s permit, etc. etc. . . . By providing us the specific
identifiable type/category of the record (i.e. construction permits),
there is no miscommunication or assumptions by either party, and it
eliminates the research implication which would invalidate your OPRA
request.
Furthermore, you did not state the date or date range of the records.
Therefore, please provide the following information so we may begin
processing your request:
• Date or Date range of record(s) being requested
• Clarification of the type of permit
Below is a screenshot of the coversheet for our OPRA form for your
reference.
Please respond to the [email address] address.
Thank you.
