From: Katherine Betlej
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
A list of members and contact information (contact information meaning a current phone number and email address) for all elected officials on all board and committees, including all members of the Board of Aldermen and Alderwoman, Democratic Town Committee (including leadership positions), Republican Town Committee (including leadership positions), Board of Education, Board of Apportionment and Taxation, and any other elected officials not listed here.
Additionally, please provide a list of all members of the following committees, commissions, and boards, regardless of whether they are appointed or elected: the Board of Aldermen and Alderwoman (including the following subcommittees: community relations, operations and procedures, Road Bond, VARCA Building Future Use Ad-Hoc, Blight, and any others existing under the Board of Aldermen and Alderwoman), Democratic Town Committee (including leadership positions), Republican Town Committee (including leadership positions), Board of Education (including Athletic Complex Building Committee, Field House Committee, Baseball Field Committee, and School Regionalization Committee, Finance Subcommittee, Negotiations and Personnel Subcommittee, School/Community Relations and Policy Subcommittee, Student Health and Safety Subcommittee, Plant and Facility Subcommittee, Academic and Curriculum Subcommittee, Athletic Subcommittee), Board of Apportionment and Taxation (including Tax Incentive Committee), Infrastructure Committee, Ethics Board, Shared Services Committee, Parks and Recreation Commission, Pension Board, Planning and Zoning, Water Pollution Control Authority Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, Cultural Commission (including Capital Planning Commission), Cultural Commission Events, Commission for the Elderly, Police Commission, Inland Wetlands Agency, and the Charter Revision Commission.
I also request that, if possible and pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. § 1-212(d), fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest and not made for commercial gain. The requested documents will be processed by a representative of the news media/press and made available to the public at MuckRock.com.
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.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 4 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Katherine Betlej
From:
Dear Ms. Betlej -
Your request made pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act was forwarded to me for acknowledgement, review and response.
I hereby acknowledge receipt of your emailed request dated August 5, 2020 for information made in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA").
I will speak to the Clerk to discover what documents exist that would be responsive to your request. Please note that the FOIA only requires a municipality to provide documents that exist and in the possession of control of the municipality. Please also note that the City can only provide you the information that is in the form of a discoverable public record and cannot confirm whether the phone numbers or email address in those documents are current.
Additionally, the documents may, or may not contain the current leadership in the DTC and RTC. These town committees exist in accordance with the state statutes governing political town committees. The City does not receive agendas or minutes of these committee's meeting and therefore cannot know if there was a change of leadership since the last statutorily required document was filed.
Once I have received information from the clerk's office, we can discuss if there is a charge for the request and whether a waiver of that charge is justified.
Sincerely,
Vincent M. Marino, Esq
Corporation Counsel
