(January 2023) Request for Alexander County, NC Government: DSS budget info. 01/01/2022 – 01/25/2023.

Hello Alexander County, NC Government (Records Officer),

I'd like to make a public records request for the following information under NC Public Records Law.
Ref: https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html

All responsive records requested should include the specific time period of 01/01/2022 through 01/25/2023 (or present day):

Please provide the Alexander County Department of Social Services budget. This should include the breakdown of what money is allocated for positions, salaries, services, adoption assistance (and what it’s spent on), LINKS, Work First, and any other state/federal funded program. This should also include a breakdown of federal, state, and county allocation of funds and how it is distributed among the budget.

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

Please Note: I am not requesting to come in person to inspect, nor to obtain printed copies of, electronic records. In accordance with NC Public Records Law, I’m requesting explicitly that all responsive records be provided via an electronic medium / format (in which the records should already exist), such as an email, file share, google drive folder, mailed flash drive if necessary, etc.

**I do not have any additional or further clarifying info to provide other than what you see in the message above. 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.**
