Buncombe County Submitted: August 25, 2023 | Updated: August 31, 2023

(August 2023) Request for Buncombe County, NC Government: All HCCBG Advisory Committee meeting materials after February 22, 2023.

Good Afternoon Kassi (or County's Custodian of these records), all others CCed,

Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which is being made in accordance with NC Public Records Law.
Ref: https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html

** I’m simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I am NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to inspect, nor to obtain a printed copy of, these electronic records. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copy of these records should already exist).

I do not have any further clarifying info I wish to provide to narrow this request. If the request is unclear, or if you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of the request, then please specifically cite where a reason for its denial is justified under NC Public Records Law. **

I am unable to locate any meeting materials [agenda, minutes, presentations, funding deliberations and decisions] for the Buncombe County Home and Community Care Block Grant Advisory Committee (HCCBG Advisory Committee) after February 22, 2023.
