  Sunshine-This is intentional. For the majority of EMS employees -the hourly rate has been provided because that is how they are paid (see frequency column). The calculated hourly rate is provided for those employees who are paid an annualized salary.

  Hi Kassi,

   

  Thank you for sending the document above on 01/31.

   

  Before I can mark this request as “Completed”, I want to ask for clarification on the following:

   

  On the far right of the document there is a column called “Calculated Hourly Rate”. This column is blank on pages 1 – 6, but there is info entered there on pages 7 – 8.

   

  I just wanted to confirm that this was intentional, and that nothing is missing from this column on pages 1 – 6 ?

   

  Thank you for your help!

  subject: Public records request. (December 2023) Request for Buncombe County, NC Government: All EMS employees and their salaries as of present day.

   

  Good evening Kassi and Michael (or County Records Officer / Custodian(s) of these Records),

   

  Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which I’m making in accordance with NC Public Records Law. 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’m NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to “inspect”, nor to obtain a printed copy of, this electronic record. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copy of this record should already exist). If you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for denial is justified under NC Public Records Law. **

   

  Please provide the First / Last Name, Salary or Hourly Rate of Pay (whichever pay structure applies to the employee), Job Position / Title, and Date of Hire for all Buncombe County Emergency Services [EMS] employees. As of the present day [on the date the query is performed].

   

  I already tried to locate the requested info via the County’s data dashboard. However, the dashboard is too generalized, since the only EMS salary data shown is “Department, Position Title, Salary Grade, Position Type, Lowest Pay Currently in Position, Highest Pay Currently in Position, Average (or Actual Pay Currently in Position), Number of Positions”.

   

  https://www.buncombecounty.org/transparency/dashboards/financial/county-positions-pay-salaries.aspx
  ————————————

   

  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 by me and my email address [email protected] . If anyone other than that email address contacts you to pursue a similar request, it did not come from me. 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!

   

  ** Sunshine Request (www.sunshinerequest.com) makes no claim as to the veracity of any statements or information contained in any of the requests, or public records, we receive.
