State of GA contracts/MOUs re: North Georgia Detention Center

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

All contracts (and their amendments) and memorandums of understanding entered into by the State of Georgia for services and activities related to the North Georgia Detention Center (https://www.ice.gov/detention-facility/north-georgia-detention-center)

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Beryl C.D. Lipton

To Whom It May Concern:

I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information request, copied below, and originally submitted on Dec. 21, 2014. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.

Thank you for your help.

Hello Ms. Barnes,

Thank you very much for your message. A follow up was inadvertently sent out for this request, because your "no responsive documents" letter was sent to the email address associated with another request. I apologize for the confusion, and I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Best wishes,
Beryl
