Good morning Ms. Young,
This email serves to update you on your public records request number G001570-071020. Staff have relayed to me that they are not locating any responsive emails within their Outlook accounts. They have indicated that former staff member Jean Paul Velez likely has relevant emails in his archived Outlook account. I have submitted a request for an electronic search of that account, but will not likely received results in time to meet the originally anticipate date of August 12, 2020. Accordingly, I will need to amend the date I anticipate the records to become available.
Please now anticipate records to become available on or before August 28, 2020. Should records become available prior to that, I will contact you.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.

Good afternoon,
This email serves to update you regarding your public records request number G001570-071020. We have encountered a need for additional time to locate records responsive to your request. Staff are still in process of searching for records responsive to your request and have not yet located records to provide.
The staff member identified as likely to hold the responsive records no longer works for King County Metro. We performed an electronic search of the employee’s archived Outlook account, using the terms: “Lyft”; “MOD”; “sandbox”; “FTA”; “LA Metro”. This search returned over 8,000 emails, and staff are still searching through these in order to locate the records you requested.
Please now anticipated records to become available on or before September 10, 2020. Should records become available prior to that, I will update you immediately. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your continued patience.
Sincerely,
Caroline Darrow, CPRO
