(July 2023) Request for Brunswick County, NC Government: List of ALL current full-time and part-time employees’ salaries. As of 07/28/23 [or present day].

Hello again Meagan (or Brunswick County, NC Records Officer),

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 employee names and salaries for ALL current full-time and part-time employees of Brunswick County, NC Government. As of 07/28/2023 or present day [date the query is performed]. Please include the following:

1) Employee’s first / last name.
2) Employee’s current job position / title / department.
3) Employee’s date of hire.
4) Employee’s current salary.

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.

——————
** On a personal note -- I'd like to suggest, again, that up-to-date salary data is proactively made “public” on the County’s website or a data dashboard, so that it doesn’t have to be obtained via repeated public records requests. It is in the public interest to provide this type of info, and would also help to reduce staff time to fulfill requests.
——————

** 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. 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!
