Dear Taeho Kim,
Jessica Short has commented the following on 05/28/2020 in regards to
your OPRA Request:
Hello- We cant separate police department only from capital or grant
accounts. We can provide total grant and capital accounts and you would
need to decipher through that document for what information you are
looking for. Also out of the budget we can do police expenditures but our
old system (dates prior to 10/2016) will be in a pdf format and only
vendor IDs as that is how the report generates. Please let me know if you
would like us to continue to process this request. Thank you!
