(March 2026) Request for Brunswick County, NC Government: List of all employees and salaries. As of 03/01/26.
Good evening Meagan, Finance, Aaron, HR, (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 Brunswick County, NC employees as of March 01, 2026. I consider the term “employee” to apply to any full or part time employee, staff, board or council member, manager, elected official, etc. Please include the following:
A. First / Last name
B. Position / title / department
C. Date of hire
D. Salary [include hourly wage, hourly rate, or annual salary -- whichever payment structure is applicable to the employee]
To clarify – this request is not limited to “current employees” who happen to have also been working at the start of March. I'm looking for a list of all people who were employees on March 01.
Ideally, I’d like to receive the responsive records in an Excel or other machine-readable format.
** 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.
