(March 2026) Request for City of Greenville, NC Government: List of all current employees and salaries as of the present day.
Good afternoon Valerie, Brock, Leah, Ramona, (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 City of Greenville, NC employees as of the present day [on the date the query is performed]. I consider the term “employee” to apply to any full or part time employees, staff, board or council 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]
Ideally, I’d like to receive this info in an Excel, PDF, or other machine-readable format. However, I’ll accept the records in any electronic medium in which you’re capable of producing them.
** 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. **

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:

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!

I’m asking if you can please clarify whether the City does not consider Council Members or the Mayor to be “Employees” of the City. If they are not, then can you please specify this?
My request was for salary data for “all employees”.
Thank you for your help!

My apologies for the delay.
Thank you for providing the spreadsheet above on 03/27.
Can you please clarify whether “board or council member(s), elected official(s), etc” have been included in the report? I consider Council / the Mayor to be “employees”, but if the City does not designate them that way, please let me know.
Thank you for your help!
