ECDSS Contracts with Ellicott Development

To Whom It May Concern:

Under the provisions of the New York Freedom of Information Law, Article 6 of the Public Officers Law, I hereby request a copy in Adobe Acrobat or other electronic form, of all records or portions thereof pertaining to, or containing the following:

1. Any and all contracts between Erie County Department of Social Services and Ellicott Development or any of its subsidiaries in effect or executed between April 2013 and the present.

I understand that there is a fee of $0.25 per page for duplication of the records requested, and if the records are unavailable in electronic form, I prefer to receive them in hard copy. As this information will be released to the general public, I ask that you waive any duplication fees.

As you know, the Freedom of Information Law requires that an agency respond to a request within five (5) business days of receipt of such request. Therefore, I would appreciate a response as soon as possible.

If for any reason any portion of my request is denied, please inform me of the reason or reasons for the denial in writing and provide the name and address of the person or body to whom an appeal should be directed.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter; I look forward to hearing from you shortly.

Sincerely,

Robert Galbraith
