Vacations During January 2021 (Island County Sheriff's Office)

Good morning.

This e-mail serves as our acknowledgement to your Public Records Request dated January 21, 2021, pursuant to RCW 42.56.520, in which you asked for "Records sufficient to show the names, badge numbers, respective dates, and the type of time off of all police officers and/or employees who requested any personal time off, vacation days, personal days, furlough days, or any other time off for the dates of, on, or between Jan 3, 2021 and January 9, 2021 AS WELL AS requests made for time of for the dates of, on, or between January 17, 2021 and January 23, 2021.".
We process records requests in the order in which they are received and your request is currently in the queue. I estimate three to four weeks will be required to make a preliminary assessment of available records, to review the records for responsiveness and possible exemptions and redactions, and to assemble the final collection of documents.
It may help to understand that Island County is comprised of multiple "agencies" for the purposes of the Public Records Act. This is because county government is an amalgam of independently elected officials who maintain exclusive control over their areas of authority, with respect to other county officials. We maintain exclusive control over the records that pertain to the operation of the Island County Sheriff's Office.
Please find the Fee Schedule from Island County Resolution C-120-17 https://www.islandcountywa.gov/Documents/Public-Records-Fees-C-120-17.pdf, which describes the costs associated with records requests. Once we have assembled the non-exempt records, we will advise you of the cost, and ship them upon receipt of payment.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at (360) 678-4422 or mk.weller@islandcountywa.gov.

Regards.
