From: Erik Peterson

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Nevada Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

A log of public records requests submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services that lists the date of request, the requester's name, the requester's organizational affiliation, a description of the request and the date the request was filled. Ideally I would like this information for the period from 2004 to the present.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, and is made in the process of academic research 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.

Sincerely,

Erik Peterson

Hello Mr. Peterson,

It was nice talking with you this morning. Please find attached public record request logs 2009 - 2015. Of course it seems to go in spurts and sputters but we don't typically get a high volume of requests in my office. Potentially, 2 - 3 a month which are often handled on-the-spot by providing a website link. I primarily work with media on story deadline. We strive to have as much information already posted and available on our website. For instance, facility inspections are a high interest to requestors and so we connected them to the Health Care Quality and Compliance Website: http://health.nv.gov/Deficiencies_Qry.htm.

Health Statistics are also asked about and reports can be found here: http://statistics.health.nv.gov/

Here's a link to the state's check book: http://open.nv.gov/

As we discussed on the phone, in the hopes it will be helpful, here is a link to the contact page for Nevada's Library and Archive Division: http://nsla.nv.gov/Records/Records_Management/

As a friendly reminder, my last day in this office is Friday, May 15.

Best wishes,
Mary
