Good Morning Janecia,
Please prepare to provide the following information in reference to
this OPRA request.
#6- Print out of any policies regarding book review
#8- if you can do a search in board docs for this information
#9- print any policies and do a search
#10- if you can print any requisitions via legal account for January
through August. I consulted with the attorney and I will try to use the
requisitions, if they do not accept I will have to get bills redacted.
It will cost a fortune since the Attorneys will charge for redaction. My
other alternative was to redact everything except for total cost. What
are your thoughts?
