Good afternoon Mr. Cantu,
In order for us to fulfill this request, we would need to search email inboxes of individual employees, as there are many employees working in "the Mayor's office." We do not have the ability to do mass searches on all city employee emails at once. If you can provide the names of individuals whose emails you'd like us to search, we would be able to conduct keyword searches within their email inboxes. Further, a timeframe would be required so we know how to limit our search. Otherwise, we could spent countless hours going through hundreds of email files. Once we get names of individual emails you'd like searched, and a timeframe, we will provide you an estimate of how much time it will take to do these searches, and a cost estimate for any labor involved. These searches often require significant city employee time and labor.
Thank you.
