Good morning Taryn, Attached is the City’s response, together with responsive documents, which were submitted via email by Jennifer Johnston on July 20th.
I suspect that they submitted the same response to both HR and PD under two separate ticket numbers (email preferred addresses) and do not realize that the HR Dept’s response applies to both requests.
You can forward the attached email and advise that the City satisfied the request for documents on July 20th.
Thanks,
Velinda
