To Whom It May Concern:

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

Any and all materials regarding the installation, inventory, maintenance, and payment of temperature control provisions in all facilities under the jurisdiction of this department, including but not limited to air conditioners and fans.

Please, at the least, include the most current report or relevant materials regarding the following:

• The number of air conditioners (active and inactive) within all facilities within the jurisdiction of this agency.
• The number of fans (active and inactive) within all facilities within the jurisdiction of this agency.
• The average temperature by day within all facilities within the jurisdiction of this agency.

If further clarification is necessary, a phone call will happily be arranged.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, 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. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Beryl Lipton

Email

Beryl Lipton,

We received your email request concerning air conditioning systems within
our jurisdiction. Our response is as follows:

1. "all facilities within the jurisdiction of this agency".

All Sheriff and/or Parish buildings, including the Correction Center and
Belle Chasse Lock-up, have the latest central air conditioning systems in
use.

2. "number of fans in use"

There are no fans in use unless an individual employee has one in his
personal space.

3. "the average temperature by day within all facilities"

While no study has been done, the average temperature would be in the low to
mid 70's during the peak of the summer.

Your request concerning "installation, inventory, maintenance, and payment
of temperature control provisions in all facilities" has relevancy issues at
best and would require engineering and other contractor inquires which would
be time consuming and expensive.

Please contact me direct if you deem my response not adequate.

Thank you,

Terry W. Sercovich

Attorney for PPSO
