Dear Mr. Musgrave,

Apologies but your request is outside of the Statewide Planning Program's realm. I imagine that the records you are looking for might be best accessed through our Human Resources Division but suggest that you review the following website and contact the Department of Administration's Public Records Officer by calling 401-222-8880 or by sending a fax to 401-222-8244. I have also copied Mr. Peter Dennehy from our Legal Services Division as he may be able to assist you directly.

Mr. Dennehy -

Is it also the case that no Department of Administration employees are under contract, as you indicated is the case for the State Controller's office.

Shawn, the positions of most employees of the Department of Administration are in the classified service. A few positions are in the unclassified service. See chapter 36-4 of the RI General laws. Peter

Is it correct to assume that there would be contracts for unclassified employees? If so, then this request encompasses those contracts.

If this was not your meaning, please clarify.
