(May 2023) Multi-part request for Alamance, NC Community College: Current “Full Time” employees, salaries, and their institutional/organizational chart. As of 05/11/23 [or present day].

Good afternoon Sarah (or ACC Records Officer),

I'd like to make a multi-part public records request for the following information under NC Public Records Law.
https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html

** All NC Community Colleges are public entities, and their salaries are considered a matter of public record. The type of salary info I’m requesting is widely regarded and consistently produced as a public record as part of the public personnel file of government, college, community college, public school, and charter school employees. Many community colleges in NC have fulfilled my request via email in 1 week, or in many cases 1 day.

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 an electronic medium / format (in which the copy of this record should already exist). I do not have any additional or further clarifying info I wish to provide to narrow this request. If it is unclear or 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. **

This request relates only to current “Full-Time” employees at Alamance Community College (a State of North Carolina, County of Alamance organization). If any / all of the info requested below is already publicly available online, please provide a link to where it can be accessed:

1) Please provide a list of ALL current “Full-Time” ACC employees and their salaries, as of 05/11/2023 or present day [date the query is performed]. Please include the following:

A. Employee’s first / last name.
B. Employee’s current job position / title / department / division.
C. Please designate each employee as 9 or 12 month position.
D. Employee’s current salary. Please include both Monthly and Annual “rate of pay”.
E. Employee’s original hire date.

Ideally, I’d like to receive the responsive records in an Excel or other machine-readable format, if possible.

2) Also related to ALL current “Full-Time” ACC Employees, as of 05/11/2023 or present day [date the query is performed]:
Please provide an ACC Institutional Organizational Chart (including divisions, departments along with Salary Pay Grades/Bands).
——————

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!

Editor’s Note: Sunshine Request makes no claim as to the veracity of any statements or information contained in any of the requests, or public records, we receive.

    C. Please designate each employee as 9 or 12 month position.

    Hi Andrea,

     

    Thanks for your email.

     

    I’ve downloaded the 11 files, and have uploaded them to our website.

     

    I do need to ask for some clarification, however. To this point you’ve only sent me organizational charts (Part 2 of the request).

     

    The request called for:
    ———-——————–

     

    This request relates only to current “Full-Time” employees at Alamance Community College (a State of North Carolina, County of Alamance organization). If any / all of the info requested below is already publicly available online, please provide a link to where it can be accessed:

     

    1) Please provide a list of ALL current “Full-Time” ACC employees and their salaries, as of 05/11/2023 or present day [date the query is performed]. Please include the following:

     

    A. Employee’s first / last name.
    B. Employee’s current job position / title / department / division.
    C. Please designate each employee as 9 or 12 month position.
    D. Employee’s current salary. Please include both Monthly and Annual “rate of pay”.
    E. Employee’s original hire date.

     

    Ideally, I’d like to receive the responsive records in an Excel or other machine-readable format, if possible.

     

    2) Also related to ALL current “Full-Time” ACC Employees, as of 05/11/2023 or present day [date the query is performed]:
    Please provide an ACC Institutional Organizational Chart (including divisions, departments along with Salary Pay Grades/Bands).
    ———-——————–

     

    I also want to note that the file you sent called Public Records Request – FT SalaryReport May 2023.pdf , appears to just be a direct download of the actual records request and all communications about it, taken from our website. At the time you downloaded that image on June 12, our last communications shown there are from June 08. So, this means that all other communications from June 13 to present will not be shown via the file you’ve attached.

     

    Luckily, this is one reason why our team documents all of the steps of the records process on our website — so that, at completion, all the emails, files, etc. are made public. If anyone in the public would like to review the request in its entirety, they can do so at the following URL: https://www.sunshinerequest.com/records_request/may-2023-multi-part-request-for-alamance-nc-community-college-current-full-time-employees-salaries-and-their-institutional-organizational-chart-as-of-05-11-23-or-present-day/

     

    I think, however, that you likely didn’t mean to send that document — or if you did, it’s supposed to be a list of salaries?

     

    Thank you for your help.
