Attn: FOIA Officer
Subject: Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request – Records, Oaths of Officers, and HR Records for Complaints for Currently Appointed Peekskill City Clerk, Police Chief, Lieutenants, and Corporation Council Officials
Dear FOIA Officer,
Under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, I hereby request access to and copies of all records related to the oaths of office, employment records, and human resources records for complaints for the currently appointed officials within the City of Peekskill:
Employees within the Peekskill City Clerk's Office
Peekskill Police Chief
Lieutenants within the Peekskill Police Department
Members of the Peekskill Corporation Council
Specifically, the records I seek include, but are not limited to:
Official oaths of office for currently appointed officials, signed and dated.
Employment records, including titles, appointment dates, and any relevant certifications or qualifications for currently appointed officials.
Human Resources records relating to complaints filed against or involving the currently appointed officials in the above-listed positions.
Any related correspondence or internal memos concerning the aforementioned positions.
Should any portion of the requested records be deemed exempt from disclosure, I request the release of any reasonably segregable non-exempt portions in accordance with 5 U.S.C. § 552(b). If an entire document is exempt, I request a justification, citing specific FOIA exemptions, and provision of an exemption log as per Vaughn v. Rosen, 484 F.2d 820 (D.C. Cir. 1973).
Please note your obligation under the law not to destroy any records potentially responsive to this request. Any withholding, redaction, or destruction of responsive records without proper justification constitutes a violation of the FOIA and is subject to litigation.
Enclosed is a letter requesting a fee waiver for the processing of this request. As an independent investigative journalist associated with TransparencyReport.pw, I believe that the information I seek is in the public interest and contributes to the public understanding of government operations and activities.
If the enclosed waiver is not accepted and there are any potential charges in excess of $200 associated with fulfilling my request, please inform me in advance.
As stipulated by the FOIA, I look forward to your response within twenty business days (5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(A)(i)).
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Jordan Lassiter
