Hi there,

Thank you so much for your last message. I'm hoping I can revisit this request regarding the Aurora Detention Facility. Typically, the city has some agreement with ICE facilities that are privately-operated regarding water and sewage usage; they may also have Emergency Management MOUs or financial agreements regarding compensation for the City's assistance in whatever matters. Can you please confirm that Aurora's financial management department or public safety department does not have any such agreements?

Thanks so much for your help,
Beryl
