(September 2024) Request for Catawba Valley Community College [Hickory, NC]: Employee salary data 01/01/2023 – 09/10/2024. And current Organizational Structure.

Good afternoon Cody, Roger, Wes, Chanell, (or 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

The type of salary data I’m requesting is widely considered a matter of public record as part of the public personnel file of employees. You’ve also fulfilled a similar request like this for me before.

Regarding Catawba Valley Community College employee salaries for 2023 – 2024:

A. Please provide all CVCC employee / faculty / staff salaries, covering the specific time period of January 01, 2023 through September 10, 2024. This request should also include a list of any positions that may currently be vacant (** please indicate the name of Employee who served in the position last).

I would like for the report to please include the following:

1) Name of employee
2) Original hire date
3) Current department
4) Current position
5) Current salary (base)

If it makes sense to break this report down by year, please do so. Ideally, I’d like to receive the responsive records in an Excel or other machine-readable format.

B. As a separate document, I would also like to request the current Organizational Structure / Chart for Catawba Valley Community College, showing department / reporting structure.

** 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. **

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 clear explanations of 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. However, 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 by me and my email address [email protected] . If anyone other than that email address contacts you to pursue a similar request, it did not come from me. 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 Roger,

     

    Please disregard the email I just “forwarded” to you and Jennifer. I think you and I were likely sending our emails at the exact same time, so I hadn’t seen your reply yet.

     

    Thank you for confirming receipt of my request. I’ll follow up again after 09/26 if it’s not completed by then.

     

    Have a great afternoon!
