Good afternoon Records Officer / Custodian(s) of these Records,

Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which I’m making in accordance with NC Public Records Law.
https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html

Please provide all emailed correspondence between any Member(s) of the Asheville City Council, the Mayor, and Staff, during the period of August 01, 2025 through October 28, 2025. Specifically – emails containing any of the following subject matter(s): Planning and Zoning Members, Planning and Zoning Commission Appointment Interviews, Planning and Zoning Commissioner Removals.

Ideally, I would like to receive the responsive records in a PDF format, but I will accept them in whatever electronic medium you’re capable of producing.

** 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 already exists). 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. **
