(April 2021) Request for Asheville, NC City Council and City Manager Communications on Friday, April 16, 2021
Hi City of Asheville, NC Government (Records Officer),
I’d like to make a multi-part public records request for the following information:
A) Please provide all communications records sent between the City Manager and any member of Asheville City Council on Friday, April 16th, 2021.
I specifically would like this request to include all forms of communication, including but not limited to: Emails, text messages, social media messages, call logs, or any other relevant public record.
This request should also include all attachments (pdfs, files, videos, hyperlinks, photos, etc), and forwards that are indicated within the responsive records. [For example: A .pdf that is an attachment within an email, should also be provided as a document along with the responsive emails].
Please include all of those additional documents where applicable, as relates to the requested information above.
If the records are ultimately too large to send via emailed file share, I’d ask that you please create a public Google Drive folder / link or some other file format to transfer the files electronically.
A1) I would like confirmation that searches have been performed for public records on City of Asheville emails as well as non-City of Asheville emails utilized by the City Manager or Council members.
A2) I would like confirmation that searches have been performed for public records that are call logs, voicemail messages, or SMS messages on the cell phones of the City Manager and each member of City Council.
A3) I would like confirmation that searches have been performed for public records that are social media messages or any other digital communications platform.
Thank you for your assistance!

I responded to you in November via NextRequest but I don’t know if the documents showed up in the portal? Apologies for any confusion. I went ahead and put them in a google drive and the link is below. Please let me know if you have any issues with accessing the documents:
