Mr. Ader,

Based on your request as it is written our IT department ran a query and it came back with 747, 248 documents (e-mails). The cost, at $33.00 per hour, would be $821,964. I am sure there is no intent to pay this amount.

We are asking that you submit a more defined request. I have attached what information is currently available, such as the recent Consultants report and the body cam footage https://www.auroragov.org/news/whats_new/independent_report_released_in_mc_clain_case

Thank you,
