(October 2023) Request for City of Raleigh, NC Government: All employees and salaries as of 10/05/23 or present day.

Hello again Youthella (or City of Raleigh Records Officer / Custodian of these Records),

Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which is being made in accordance with NC Public Records Law. 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 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 should already exist). If the request 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.**

The type of basic salary data I’m requesting is simple to provide, is very commonly produced, and is widely considered a matter of public record as part of the public personnel file of government employees. Many entities around the state fulfill requests like this via email in 1 week, and in many cases 1 day. You have also provided this record to me before.

Here are the details of the request:

SUBJECT:
(October 2023) Request for City of Raleigh, NC Government: All employees and salaries as of 10/05/23 or present day.

MESSAGE:
“Please provide the names and salaries of ALL City of Raleigh, NC Employees as of 10/05/23 or present day (on the date the query is performed). Please include the following:

1) Employee first / last name
2) Hire date
3) Current Position / Title / Department
4) Salary (including hourly wage, hourly rate, or salary -- whichever payment structure is applicable to the employee)

Ideally, I’d like to receive these records in an Excel or other machine-readable format. If any / all of this info is already publicly available online, please provide a link to where it can be accessed.
————————————

Please note that by submitting this request, I’m NOT agreeing to pay any potential fees or associated costs related to my request. If it isn’t 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 respond.

By Law I’m 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!”

Hi Youthella,

Thanks for your help with the request!

I was out of the office last week. I just now reviewed the document you sent.

I do just want to clarify that it does appear that you fully satisfied the request, and you have provided salary data for all employees.

I do not need to follow up with you any further regarding this request.

I’ll now mark the request as “Completed” on our website.

Thank you again!

Good afternoon Youthella (or City Records Officer and/or the Custodian(s) of these Records),

At 2:24PM today I attempted to submit the public records request below — via your public records form (https://raleighnc.gov/fix-it-report-it-request-it/services/records-request). I received the following response: “There was an error during validation of your form submission, please try to reload the page and submit form again.”

Since no explanation was provided, it’s unclear what the specific issue is. I’ve tried twice to submit the form, but am unable to send the request through your website. Therefore, I’m now submitting the following request to you directly:
———-

“Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which is being made in accordance with NC Public Records Law.
