Hello City of Asheville, NC Government (Records Officer),

Specifically – I'm requesting all emails with the name “Crystal MacKinnon” (or some obvious variance of that name) mentioned in the Subject line.

    Hi Allison or NR Officer,

     

    I’m following up regarding [NextRequest #23-80]. I understand that this might be a large request and could take some time to fulfill. However, I’ve noticed it has stopped moving and hasn’t changed position (#20) on the City’s email queue spreadsheet for at least 22 days.

     

    Can you please provide a status update or reason for the delay – or the anticipated timeline for its completion?

     

    I’ll follow up again early next month, if I don’t hear anything else before then.

     

    Thank you for your help!
