We will need clarification on the below questions before we proceed to
respond to your FOI request:
1. For the "listing of current employees associated with positions listed
on the Danbury City Organizational Chart as published on page 4 of the 2021
City of Danbury Annual Report" - you will need to indicate specific
* positions* for which you are requesting information. Note that the
organizational chart refers to *departments*, not necessarily individual
positions, and further, many City departments contain numerous employees.
There are also departments that are comprised of elected officials, not
employees. We are not the employer for the Board of Education.
2. For the positions you identify in No. 1 above, are you requesting
information on the employees who occupy these positions currently, or at
the time the organizational chart in the Annual Report was published?
3. For the positions you identify in No. 1 above, are you requesting base
salary or gross salary?
4. It is unclear what you mean by the term "exemption."
Documents will be billed at the statutory rate of $.50 per page, and costs
that are $10.00 or more are required to be pre-paid.
Sincerely,
Dianne Rosemark
