Editor’s Note: Sunshine Request makes no claim as to the veracity of any statements or information contained in any of the requests, or public records, we receive.

Editor’s Note 07/31/24: The submission above has been marked as “Completed”. As written, it is unclear what specific, searchable public records the sender would like to receive.

The sender indicated in the “Start Date / End Date” section that the responsive records should include the time period of 07/01/2022 – 07/23/2024. In reviewing the request’s “Message”, however, it is unclear whether you might actually be hoping to receive a list of “all current full-time employees and their salaries, as well as any current sick time / vacation time balances for those same employees”.  

It is also unclear if you might be asking to know “the total amount of pay received from July 01, 2022 to July 23, 2024 by every full-time employee who was working at any point during that period” ? And, whether you’d also like to know their sick leave “balance” and “vacation balance” at all times from July 01, 2022 to July 23, 2024 ? As written, this isn’t a clear request and will likely require additional clarification in order to fulfill — if it were submitted to H2Go as is.

Additionally, please note:

Since 2022 we have processed or Completed several requests related to Brunswick, NC Regional Water and Sewer (H2Go) salary data or lists of employees working during various time periods. You can view the results of those requests by searching the term “brunswick” or “h2go” on our website. (The most recent request was completed on May 16, 2024). Some of the data you’re requesting has already been provided to us by H2Go. As written, the new request would require an unnecessary duplication of some of that same info, as well as the H2Go Staff’s time to provide those records.

Also — based on our experiences requesting basic salary data from many entities – we feel it’s likely H2Go won’t be able to query the data in the manner requested (on a specific date in time in the past, or “on the first day of every month, from July 2022 through July 2024). Most entities seem to only be able to provide salary data “as of the present day”, or within the last month. In the future we’d be happy to send in a new request for salary data, but just wanted to note that possibility for your consideration when writing any future requests.

After you review the previously completed requests on our site, if you are still unable to obtain the info you are seeking — please feel free to revise and submit a new request. Please clearly indicate any specific details, subject, message, dates, record types, City / County / State, etc. about the exact public records that are being requested.


Sunshine Request will not fulfill the following types of requests:

☀️ Requests that are incomplete, non-specific, or vague.

While we do proofread requests we receive for general spelling and clarity, we may choose not to fulfill the request if it is incomplete, or it is unclear what specific information the requester hopes to receive. In this case, the sender may rewrite and resubmit the request.

It’s the requester’s responsibility to write the request in a manner that clearly specifies a record that is being requested, and to what government entity it should be sent.

☀️ Please be specific:

It is important that what you are requesting is specific and reasonable, and is an actionable records request. Please specify the exact type of records you’d like to receive, rather than any “possible” or “potential” info that could be searched. Remember that the larger your request, the more time it usually takes to fulfill. Specificity will often help reduce the amount of time needed to process the request.

It is important that a request has a clearly written and complete Subject and Message, and also specifies the Government Entity (or entities), City and/or County, and State to which the request should be sent. If applicable, please also include any responsive timelines for the info that should be requested.

While we do proofread requests we receive for general spelling and clarity, we may choose not to fulfill the request if it is incomplete, or it is unclear what specific info the requester hopes to receive, or if it violates our policies.
