1) Please provide the names and salaries of all City of Kings Mountain, NC employees as of March 31, 2026. I consider the term “employee” to apply to any full or part time employees, staff, board or council member, commissioner, manager, elected official, etc. To clarify – this request is not limited to “current employees” who happen to have also been working at the end of March. I'm looking for a list of all people who were employees on March 31. 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.
2) Please provide the names and salaries of all current City of Kings Mountain, NC employees as of the present day [on the date the query is performed].

** 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.
