_____ Consultation is needed with another public body in order to respond to the request.
Note - Extending the deadline to the above-referenced date does not necessarily mean a response and/or public records will be provided to you by that date. FOIA requests are reviewed in the order in which they are received.
Your patience is appreciated.
