Dear Tom Nash:
Thank you for your interest in public records of the City of Norfolk. Your request has been received and is being processed in accordance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Your request was received in this office on 4/19/2022 and assigned the reference number N001557-041922 for tracking purposes. Records Requested: Mr. Nash requests "compensation data for all employees of the Norfolk VA City Government for the most recent year in which complete data are available (preferably 2020). As Mr. Nash has been advised repeatedly that we cannot fulfill his requests because 1) he is required to provide a valid Virginia mailing address (and this fax is generated via MuckRock, and includes only MuckRock's mailing address and an autogenerated email address from MuckRock) and 2) he has an outstanding past-due balance of 30 days or more (from a request he filed in 2020), this request will be denied on both grounds.
Your request will be forwarded to the relevant department(s) to locate the records you seek and to determine the volume of those records and any costs associated with satisfying your request. You will be contacted about the availability and/or provided with copies of the records in question. PLEASE NOTE: The Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) does not require a governmental body to create records, to do legal research, or to answer questions about the records we might provide.
You can monitor the progress of your request at the link below and you'll receive an email when your request has been completed. Again, thank you for using the FOIA Records Center.

RE: PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST of April 19, 2022., Reference # N001557-041922.
Dear Tom Nash,
The City of Norfolk received a public information request from you on April 19, 2022. Your request mentioned: "Mr. Nash requests "compensation data for all employees of the Norfolk VA City Government for the most recent year in which complete data are available (preferably 2020)." As Mr. Nash has been advised repeatedly that we cannot fulfill these requests because 1) he is required to provide a valid Virginia mailing address (and this fax is generated via MuckRock, and includes only MuckRock's mailing address and an autogenerated email address from MuckRock) and 2) he has an outstanding past-due balance of 30 days or more (from a request he filed in 2020), this request will be denied on both grounds."
Hello, Mr. Nash. This request does not include a valid Virginia mailing address. It includes only a mailing address for a business located out of state. Additionally, you have an outstanding, past-due balance of $5 from a previous FOIA request you filed in 2020.
This request is being denied, both because you have not provided a valid Virginia mailing address, and because you have an outstanding past-due balance of 30 days or more. See Virginia Codes 2.2-3704(A) ("The custodian may require the requester to provide his name and legal address") and 2.2-3704(I) ("Before processing a request for records, a public body may require the requester to pay any amounts owed to the public body for previous requests for records that remain unpaid 30 days or more after billing.")
If you have any questions, please reply to this email.
Sincerely,
Heather Tierney
FOIA officer
