At a minimum, I require all emails to and from "ccwpermits@so.cccounty.us", "PEnea001@so.cccounty.us", "csqui001@so.cccounty.us", and correspondence with the following list of terms in the subject and/or body of any department email address communication (not case sensitive).

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for the timely response, while I certainly empathize with the hours it would take to promulgate this data, the scope of my inquiry requires it. That being said, I will attempt to narrow the request below.

Good morning,

Today is the 24th of March. I'm assuming there is too much data for an email, so please let me know how to retrieve it. I'd like it by COB.

Thanks,

Kelly

From: Office of the Sheriff - Contra Costa County

Mr. Vannett,

Unfortunately, these records were not available today. We had previously provided, to the best of our ability, an estimation on when this was projected to be available for release, however, due to some unexpected circumstances the estimation will require further modification.

The Sheriff’s Office is committed to resolving your request and will determine during next week if we can provide, at a minimum, a batch of the records (in email-compatible transmissions), in an effort to produce records on a rolling release until this is fully completed.

Sincerely,
