To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to follow up on the following Michigan Freedom of Information Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on Feb. 12, 2020. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.
From: Allegan County Sheriff
Dear Beryl Lipton,
This written communication is in response to your Freedom of Information Request; below.
Pursuant to MCL 15.236, Section 5(2), “a public body shall respond to the request for a public record within five business days after the public body receives the request by doing one of the following:”….(d) issuing a notice extending for not more than ten business days, the period which the public body shall respond to the request.”
Please be advised, the County is extending for ten (10) business days the period for responding to your request. As a result of this extension the County will do one of the following by March 6, 2020;
• Grant the request.
• Issue a written notice denying the request.
• Grant the request in part and issue a written notice denying the request in part.
• Issue a notice indicating that due to the nature of the request the County needs an additional 10 business days to respond for a total of no more than 15 business days. Only one such extension is permitted.
• Issue a written notice indicating that the public record requested is available at no charge on the County’s website.
The reason for extension is the County needs the additional time to search for, collect, and/or appropriately examine or review the public records that you have requested.
Sincerely,
Becky Blaine
