(August 2023) Request for Cabarrus County, NC Government: All current employees and salaries as of 08/08/23 [or present day]

Good Afternoon Cabarrus County, NC (Records Officer or Custodian of 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 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 an electronic medium / 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. **

Please provide a list of ALL current Cabarrus County, NC employees / staff and their salaries, as of 08/08/2023 or present day (date the query is performed). Please include the following:

1) Employee first / last name
2) Original Hire Date
3) Current Position / Title / Department
4) Current Salary (including hourly wage, hourly rate, or salary -- whichever payment structure is applicable to the employee)

Ideally, I’d like to receive the responsive records in an Excel or machine-readable format, if possible.

If any / all of this info is already publicly available online, please provide a link to where it can be accessed.
——————

** Please note that by submitting this request, I’m NOT agreeing to pay any potential fees or associated costs related to my request. If it isn’t 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 respond.

By Law I’m not required to provide a name or address to associate with a public records request, but in order to move things along I’d like to clarify that this request is being made by:

Sunshine Request
PO Box 17391
Asheville, NC 28816

The 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.

    Hi Lundee,

     

    Thank you for sending over the spreadsheet.

     

    It looks like item #2 (Original Hire Date) and item #3 (Current Position / Title / Department), have not been provided.

     

    Is it possible to resend the document with that information added as requested?

     

    Thank you!

    Good Evening Cabarrus County (Records Officer / Custodian of Records), all others CCed,

     

    Please reply promptly.

     

    This is my 2nd attempt to follow up on my public records request. It was first submitted to each of you directly via email on Tuesday 08/08/23 @ 2:49PM EST.
    REF: (August 2023) Request for Cabarrus County, NC Government: All current employees and salaries as of 08/08/23 [or present day]

    subject: Records Request: (August 2023) Request for Cabarrus County, NC Government: All current employees and salaries as of 08/08/23 [or present day]

     

    Subsequently, I received a response from [email protected] at 2:54PM that same day which said:
    “To view this request, click the link below: https://helpdesk.cabarruscounty.us/TDClient/32/Portal/Requests/TicketRequests/TicketDet.aspx?TicketID=tCaGj3ws0JU_

     

    I’ve attempted to login to the portal several times to view my request at that link. I have either forgotten my password, or I didn’t have one to begin with — and unfortunately your website doesn’t provide any mechanism to “reset password” or click a “forgot password” button.

     

    I have not received a response since first submitting the request, nor to my follow up email on Aug 16, 2023, 1:25 PM asking for clarification about the login info. Under the law, you’re required to process all records requests as promptly as possible. Can you please confirm that the request has been processed, and please provide an anticipated date for its completion ?
    ———————-

     

    FYI. I recently received a new request for similar information that I would like to submit to your office. However, I am unable to send that to you until there has been some resolution to the request above.

     

    I will make one more attempt to follow up with you in 1 week, if I have not heard anything else before then.

     

    Thank you.

    Good Afternoon,

     

    I am following up my public records request for:

     

    (August 2023) Request for Cabarrus County, NC Government: All current employees and salaries as of 08/08/23 [or present day]

     

    I submitted the request through your portal on Tuesday 8/8/23 at 2:54 PM EST.

     

    I am attempting to login to the portal right now to view my request, and I have forgotten my password. Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be any way to “reset” or click a “forgot password” link on your website. Such a function doesn’t seem to exist.

     

    Please advise.

     

    Thank you.
