(May 2023) Request for Onslow County, NC Government: Documents referenced during 04/03/23 Commissioner meeting
Good afternoon Kevin (or Onslow County, NC. Records Officer), Julie, and Commissioner Scott,
I'd like to make another public records request for the following information under NC Public Records Law.
Ref: https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html
** I’m simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I’m 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 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 is related to the Onslow County Commissioners meeting on April 03, 2023:

Around 1:40:30 in the meeting recording near the end of the agenda, Commissioner Scott held up what he called “a 48 page document ... of one of our former employees”, as well as “... [documents of] 5 invoices totaling $72,935.77”. He suggested that those documents should be verified with HR, County Manager, and discussed among “... the citizens and taxpayers of Onslow County”.
Please provide the copy of the "48 page document", as well as the "5 invoices totaling $72,935.77", that Mr. Scott held up on camera during the April 03 meeting.
If any / all of this info is already publicly available online, please provide a link to where it can be accessed.
