(April 2023) Request for City of Asheville, NC Government: All emails, texts, and related documents 12/01/2021 – 02/28/2022 regarding 01/14/2022 meeting with Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce Staff, Asheville City Council Members, and Asheville City Staff.
Hello City of Asheville, NC Government (Records Officer),
I'd like to make a public records request for the following information under NC Public Records Law.
Ref: https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html
This request is related to communication records and documentation regarding an 01/14/2022 meeting.
Please provide ALL emails, attachments, text messages and related documents, concerning a meeting that occurred on January 14th, 2022 around 1:00 p.m. Previously released public records have indicated that this meeting was attended by Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce Staff, and local government officials (including - but not limited to - Mayor Esther Manheimer and Council Member Antanette Mosley).
Since additional members of City Council or City Staff may have also attended, I respectfully request that the search include the emails and text documents for each Member of City Council and any City Staff who also attended that meeting.
To clarify – I am requesting all communication records and documents pertaining to this meeting that were created by or in the possession of any member of City Council or any member of City Staff. During the specific time period of 12/01/2021 through 02/28/2022.
** Please note: I am not requesting to come in person to inspect, nor to obtain printed copies of, these electronic records. In accordance with NC Public Records Law, I’m requesting explicitly that all responsive records be provided via an electronic medium / format (in which the records should already exist), such as an email, file share, google drive folder, mailed flash drive if necessary, etc.
I do not have any additional or further clarifying info to provide other than what you see in the message above. If you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for its denial is justified under NC Public Records Law.**

** Please note that by submitting this request, I am NOT agreeing to pay any potential fees or associated costs related to my request. If it is not possible to process the request without incurring fees, then please let me know the itemized potential cost and explanations for those charges upfront, and DO NOT proceed until I can respond.
This request has been sent solely from the email address [email protected] . If anyone other than that email address contacts you to pursue a similar request, it did not come from me or my Team. Please do not commingle or treat that as an alteration or cancellation of my request – I intend to continue to pursue my request.
Thank you for your assistance!
