Dear City of Reno Records Division,

Can you please reprocess this request. Your response is clearly incorrect, inadequate, and in violation of Nevada's Public Records Law.

For example, let's look at item 3 regarding photography of Keeks There are numerous of images of Keeks that were published by City of Reno's official social media accounts. Please provide those photos in the original file format they were created.

Next ther'es item 8 regarding other proclamations for non-human mayors. Numerous news reports mention official proclamations for dog mayors in 2016 (Everett), 2017 (Yiggy), and 2018 (Sophie), at least. Please provide those proclamations and any others when dogs were named mayor.

In addition, during the City Council session, Mayor Schieve stated, "Keeks, the first thing I want you to do is go answer all my emails." It is at least worth double checking whether Keeks did, in fact, answer any of the mayor's emails.

Sincerely,

Dave Maass
