  **Editor’s Note: The body of the actual email we received from Sylvia, was about a “secure message” from “Expiry”, and also a “secure document” attached. That “secure attachment” included an actual email from Sylvia (copied below). We had to take additional steps to be able to open the file. Please see the referenced files (“Sunshine-List-February-2026.xlsx” + “salary-classification-plan.pdf“) at top left in our Documents section.

   

  Good afternoon,

   

  The requested information is attached. The Classification Plan can be reviewed at https://alexandercountync.gov/pdf/salary-classification-plan.pdf .

  subject: Public records request. (February 2026) Request for Alexander County, NC Government: List of current employees, salaries, pay schedules, rate ranges. As of present day.

   

  Good afternoon Ben, Sylvia, Jennifer, (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

   

  Please provide the names and salaries of all current Alexander County, NC employees as of the present day [on the date the query is performed]. I consider the term “employee” to apply to any full-time or part-time employee, staff, board member, manager, elected official, etc. Please include the following:

   

  1) First / Last name
  2) Position / Title / Department
  3) Date of hire
  4) Salary [include hourly wage, hourly rate, or annual salary — whichever payment structure is applicable to the employee]

   

  If available, please also include any salary schedule, pay plan, or roster that lists positions and corresponding pay rates or ranges.

   

  ** 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 already exists). 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 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 clear explanations of 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!
