Hello Mr. Kim,

Our departments are still working to fulfill your remaining four OPRA requests. I provided a response to one of your five OPRA requests earlier today by email.

As you can imagine, having just reopened to employees June 22, gathering all of this information is taking some time, especially considering the timeframes and quantity of information in your requests. Rest assured, we are working diligently.

We will need an extension until Wednesday, July 8, 2020 for this request, in our records as OPRA 2020 DC 006. I apologize for the delay, we are doing the best we can with the short staff we have.

You can reach me at the contact information below.

Best,
