Dear Mr. Szuberla,
This is in interim response to your Sunshine Law, a copy of which is attached below for reference. Your request has been assigned tracking #6189.
We have begun the process of our search for responsive documents but we will need additional time to provide our response due to our current workload and the availability of relevant personnel. I anticipate we will be able to provide our response to you at the earliest in one week.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Paula Barrett

From: UM Custodian of Records
Dear Mr. Szuberla,
This is in further response to your Sunshine Law request, a copy of which is attached below for reference. Your request has been assigned tracking #6189.
We have conducted a high level search for purchase and payment records using the names of the vendors you provided as well as other vendors familiar to our staff. I am attaching those records in response to the first item of your request and they are being provided without cost.
Because the purchase of this type of software could have originated from any department within the University of Missouri-Columbia and the names of any other vendors are unknown to us, the time it would take to search for documents in response to your broad request would be extensive and will include a substantial cost. If you would like us to proceed with an estimate of costs to respond further, you may want to consider narrowing the scope of your request and provide a timeframe for the responsive documents in order to reduce the large cost. Please let me know if you want us to proceed.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Paula Barrett
Custodian of Records
