(March 2026) Request for Town of Burgaw, NC Government: List of current employees and salaries. As of the present day.
Good evening Kristin, Tiffany, Kim, Kelly, (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 Town of Burgaw, 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:
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]
Ideally, I’d like to receive this info 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. **

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.

Thank you for providing the spreadsheet above.
Can you please clarify whether “council member(s)” have been included in the report?
I see the Mayor has been included. I consider Council / the Mayor to be “employees” of the City, but if the City does not designate other Council Members that way, please let me know.
Thank you for your help!

Thank you for providing the spreadsheet above on 03/30.
– Can you please clarify whether the document includes “all” employees as requested? The spreadsheet seems to only indicate full-time employees, but if I’m mistaken about that please let me know.
– Can you please clarify whether “board or council member(s), elected official(s), etc” have been included in the report? I consider them to be “employees”, but if the town does not designate them that way, please let me know.
– Can you please provide the “Date of hire” as requested?
Thank you for your help!
