To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Maine Freedom of Access Act, I hereby request the following records:
Records sufficient to show the names, star numbers, respective dates, and the type of time off of all police officers and/or employees who requested any personal time off, vacation days, personal days, furlough days, or any other time off for the dates of, on, or between Jan 1, 2021 and January 8, 2021 AS WELL AS the dates of, on, or between Jan 1, 2020 and January 8, 2020.
Ideally, please provide the records in an excel spreadsheet.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by 1 M.R.S.A. § 408(6). The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
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 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Lucy Parsons Labs

We are reviewing your request and working on gathering the information
requested. To the extent the documents you requested are protected

whole or in part. Once we have gathered the documents, we will make

information either digitally or in hard copy. We will also include an
invoice, if applicable, for the reasonable costs of copying and $15
per hour, after the first hour, for the time involved in searching
for, retrieving and compiling the requested information as we are
entitled to under 1 M.R.S.A. § 408-A.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this process.
Also, please note that the PPD does not maintain time records in an excel

The City of Portland has received an extremely high volume of FOAA requests
in the last 17 months. We do not have a full-time staff member handling
them. I have begun the work related to your request.
The City can not provide this information free charge. The cost is
$15.00 per hour after the first hour (which we have already surpassed).
Please let me know if you want the department to continue this work.
