(March 2023) Request for Buncombe County, NC Government: Individual Gross Pay for Individual Employees. 03/01/2022 – 02/28/2023.

Hi Kassi (or Buncombe 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

** Please Note: I am 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, this electronic record. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via an electronic medium / format (in which the copy of this record should already exist).

I do not have any additional or further clarifying info to provide to narrow this request, other than what you see in the message below. If it is unclear, or 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.**

This request is related to the “Individual Gross Pay for Individual Employees” at Buncombe County, NC.

I’ve already tried to locate this information on Buncombe County’s website / data dashboard. As best as I can tell, the info on your site only provides a Job Title with minimum, mid, and high ranges of pay. This info is too generalized, as it does not show me the specific pay for specific employees (by employee name / position)… which is what I’d like to request now:

Please provide the specific gross pay for each individual employee from 03/01/2022 through 02/28/2023. Please include employee name and job title / position.

[Editor’s Note to Kassi: The sender has indicated the timeline for the responsive records should be 03/01/2022 - 02/28/2023. However, if it is not possible for you to query the information in that way, then please specify. In that case, please consider that the request should be made to instead ask for all responsive records “as of the present day (date the query is performed)”. Thank you!]

** Please note that by submitting this request, I am NOT agreeing to pay any potential fees or associated costs related to my request. If it is not 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 can respond.

By Law I am 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!
