This request includes, but is not limited to, the following:

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.

Ms. Keeney,

Thanks for getting back to us! Can you estimate the cost of the open records request for staff time, copy cost, etc.? Also, since the Pulaski County Public Library is a public governmental agency, I'm assuming that many of these documents are maintained electronically since they by law have to be made available to the public and are filed yearly with the county. Also, we live here in Pulaski County, so we can pick the documents up. Also, in the cost estimate, please add in the shipping cost. As another option, are the documents together in one place so that they could be inspected by person? That would save the time of copying all of the documents. We could inspect the documents in person and make any copies that were pertinent to our request. Thanks Charlotte!

All the best,
Nathan
