RE: APRA Request – Police Reports 2018 Prostitution Matters
Dear Mrs. Rothschild
This office is in receipt of your Access to Public Records (“APRA”) request received by the City on November 19, 2018 regarding the above-referenced matter.
As per § 38-2-3<x-apple-data-detectors://4>(e) of the APRA if the City needs additional time to comply with a public records request, it may have up to an additional twenty (20) business days under certain circumstances. Due to a high volume of requests for records presently pending, this office has not had the opportunity to process your request, and I believe additional time is necessary in order to avoid imposing an undue burden on the City.
As a result, please be advised that the City hereby invokes the aforementioned statute, and asserts the need for an additional five (5) business days to respond to your request. Certainly, we will provide you with a response in a shorter period of time, if possible.
As per R.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2-8<x-apple-data-detectors://5>, if you do not agree with this response, you may contact me or appeal to Mayor Donald R. Grebien, 137 Roosevelt Avenue, Pawtucket, RI 02860<x-apple-data-detectors://6>. You may also file a complaint with the Department of Attorney General, 150 South Main Street, Providence, RI 02903<x-apple-data-detectors://7>, or the Providence County Superior Court. Additional information concerning the APRA is available through the Attorney General’s website at www.riag.ri.gov<http://www.riag.ri.gov/>. The City of Pawtucket has been and will continue to be an open, honest, accessible government under this administration in accordance with the APRA.
Thank You,
