Hello Ms. Whitbeck and Mr. Woodard -
As we have indicated multiple times, your office has fulfilled requests for both the Mayor's office and the police department:
-Employee listings
-FOIL procedures
-FOIL log
We have not received the following materials for either department:
-subject matter listings
If you mailed or emailed the subject matter listings, we have not received them. Unless your office indicates otherwise, we are closing out these requests as constructively "Rejected". This is my final action on these two requests unless your office provides actual indication that responsive documents to the FOIL requests for subject matter listings was fulfilled.
Thank you,
Shawn Musgrave, MuckRock
