Hello Ms. Lipton,
We are continuing to work on this FOIA response. A considerable amount of records were returned in conducting an initial search, and several hundred additional pages of documents arrived today from the City's insurance carrier. It will take me some time to go through these records for release.
We would like an extension to respond to this request to no later than July 22, 2020. In the alternative, please let me know if there is some narrowed scope of records that we may be able to produce earlier--for example, a more narrow time frame.
Thank you,
