Hello City of Asheville, NC Government (Records Officer),
I'd like to make a public records request for the following information under NC Public Records Law.
Ref: https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html
Note: Although similar, the request below is NOT a duplicate of another recent records request we’ve submitted.
Please provide all emails from August 01, 2021 through March 31, 2022 exchanged between “Asheville on Bikes” and any/all City of Asheville Employees. Specifically, in regard to the subject matter of Merrimon Ave conversation(s).
I am not requesting to come in person to inspect, nor to obtain printed copies of, electronic records. In accordance with NC Public Records Law, I’m requesting explicitly that all responsive records be provided via an electronic medium / format (in which the records should already exist), such as an email, file share, google drive folder, mailed flash drive if necessary, etc.
[**I do not have any additional or further clarifying information to provide. 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.** ]

subject: status of requests is email search queue
Good morning, Sunshine Request,
I received your messages inquiring about the status of your requests that are in the City of Asheville Email Search Queue, and I wanted to let you know what’s going on.
As you know, public records requests for emails are processed in the order received, as we have found that to be the most fair and equitable way to fulfill these requests. However there are rare occurrences in which I am tasked with pulling emails for separate matters outside of public records requests, such as judicially mandated litigation matters. In these cases, there is no flexibility over the deadlines given by the Court and these pulls therefore have to take priority. That is what has happened here; I am currently working on an email pull for a litigation matter in which there is no leeway with the given deadline. As soon as I have this completed, the email pulls for public records requests will resume. I appreciate your patience and understanding.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Best,
—
Allison Byers

Hi Allison,
No. I do not have additional info or an email address to provide.
However, as is the case with all other email records searches the City has performed, I’m sure you’ll be able to complete this one as well, simply by looking up “Asheville on Bikes” or “ashevilleonbikes” — As this name will likely appear in the “To / From” address of any responsive emails.
If you are unable to perform a records search that way, please let me know.
Thank you.
