Hello,

To be clear, will the documents sent in response to the request submitted to the Mayor's Office (W003255-121214) also include a listing of employees from the Albany Police Department (W003256-121214)? If so, we will only need one copy, which would cover both requests, and, presumedly, would send a single check for $7.50. Please confirm that the above is correct.

Thank you for your help.
