From: Beryl Lipton
Hello Ms. Barker,
Thank you so much for your letter; I hope your family emergency was resolved peacefully. Would it be possible for you to please elaborate on your response? My understanding of K.S.A. 45-221(d) is that if there is any information included in responsive files not eligible to be withheld, I am entitled to that. My request included many bullet points, not the least of which involved the procurement process involved in soliciting and buying social media surveillance systems. Perhaps there are available materials pertaining to that segment of my request that might be released. Of course, I am interested in all of the materials I requested.
Thank you so much for your help and time.
Best wishes,
Beryl
(d) If a public record contains material which is not subject to disclosure pursuant to this act, the public agency shall separate or delete such material and make available to the requester that material in the public record which is subject to disclosure pursuant to this act. If a public record is not subject to disclosure because it pertains to an identifiable individual, the public agency shall delete the identifying portions of the record and make available to the requester any remaining portions which are subject to disclosure pursuant to this act, unless the request is for a record pertaining to a specific individual or to such a limited group of individuals that the individuals' identities are reasonably ascertainable, the public agency shall not be required to disclose those portions of the record which pertain to such individual or individuals.

Hello Ms. Mendoza,
Thank you for your message. Could you please clarify the issue with the form that I attached to my last email? Is it necessary, instead, that I submit the complaint via the website rather than via the downloadable, printable pdf version of the complaint form found at the top of that page?
Thanks so much for your time,

Dear Ms. Lipton:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your email and the associated complaint. I was able to successfully open the complaint.
In Ms. Barker’s January 10, 2017, email below responding to your KORA request, she refers to an email attachment that contains her response. Please provide us with a copy of that document for review, as well as each email that you received from Ms. Barker that shows the time and date of the response. This will assist us in understanding your complaint.
We note that you addressed your email to us at the Olathe Police Department. To be clear, this office is not associated with the Olathe Police Department. The complaint process is a separate process set out in Kansas law, and not a grievance process within the Olathe Police Department.
Thank you in advance for providing the requested documents. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.

Hello Ms. Mendoza,
Thank you so much for your help thus far. I wanted to confirm that you received all of the necessary raw communications appropriately. I also wondered whether there might be a tracking number I could associate with this complaint to help keep all of our records straight going forward.
Please let me know if there's anything else on our end that might aid in resolution of this problem.
Thanks so much,

This matter remains pending. At this time, we do not need any additional information.
We will advise you of the results of our investigation when it is complete.
We note that you continue to address your emails to the Olathe Police Department, as well as reference this matter as a "Kansas Open Records Act Request." Again, so there is no confusion, the Olathe Police Department is a separate agency, and does not fall under the aegis of the Kansas Attorney General. Additionally, you filed a complaint with this office, not a request for records.
