From: Virginia Conflict Of Interest And Ethics Advisory Council

Mr. Nash:

I am reaching out regarding your FOIA request dated today, October 18,
2019, for copies of all conflict of interest disclosures. I want to
acknowledge receipt of your request and inform you that we have started
working on it. Because of the vastness of the request, we need to work with
another agency and my point of contact is not in the office today.

We are glad to provide the state records to you. I want to take a moment to
make you aware that we only have the disclosures that are filed at the
state level. Local officials, excepting Constitutional Officers, file with
their respective governing body and not with the Ethics Council.
Disclosures of Real Estate Holdings are filed at the local level so we do
not have any of those filings at all.

Since this request is more involved and necessitates us working with
another agency, we need to invoke the additional seven days allowed by
statute. I will touch base with you by Wednesday, October 23rd with a
status update. If I have any questions or require any clarification, I will
contact you before that time.

We look forward to working with you to provide all of the forms you have
requested. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we
will be happy to assist you.

Kind regards,

Elizabeth Sundberg

Mr. Nash,

Hello. I hope you are doing well. I indicated on Friday that I would touch
base with you today with an update. Our developer is still out of the
office and I am working with others in his agency for assistance. As soon
as I have more information available for you, I will let you know.

Please know that we are working on this request for you.

If you have any questions, please contact me directly at 804.698.1848.

Good afternoon Mr. Nash.

I hope you are doing well. I mentioned to you earlier that the developer
was out of the office; I have actually learned that he is out of the
country until next week. The agency has ascertained that they need his
expertise to assist with the request. The request has already been sent to
him and they are scheduling time for us to meet; we are hoping to meet on
Tuesday, November 5th. I will contact you on Wednesday morning with an
update.

If you have any questions in the interim, please feel free to contact me.
Here is my direct contact information if you need it:

Good afternoon, Mr. Nash.

I hope you are doing well. I apologize I was unable to give you an update
yesterday, but I have met with the developer and here is what has been
determined:

- We are able to provide you copies of every Financial Disclosure
Statement (FDS), Statement of Economic Interest (SOEI) for all state
officers, employees and elected officials and the General Assembly's SOEI
forms in either HTML or PDF formats.
- Forms that were filed electronically using the Council's online
filing system will be HTML files. Forms were not required to be filed
electronically until 2017; any forms that were filed on paper
were scanned
and will be made available as PDFs.
- Disclosures of Real Estate Holdings are filed at the local level,
not with the state, so we do not have these records.
- I recognize that you requested CSV or Excel format; however; we are
not able to provide this information in this format due to programming
complexities.
- Regarding delivery of all of these files, we are looking at delivery
on December 5.

Monday, November 11th is a state holiday and our offices will be closed. I
will also be out of the office tomorrow, Friday, November 8th. I am here
all afternoon if you have any questions or I will be back in the office on
November 12th. Again my phone number is 804.698.1848 and my email address
is esundberg@dls.virginia.gov.

Please know that we are doing all we can to satisfy your request and want
to provide these files as quickly as possible.

Thank you and kind regards,

Hi Ms. Sundberg,

I appreciate your update on this from a few weeks ago -- I wanted to see if there's anything else you need? I know you said Dec. 5 was the anticipated date and I don't mean to pester, but just in case this is lost in the shuffle I did want to follow up.

Many thanks!

Good morning.

Thank you for reaching out. I did not push the "go" button because I needed
to be sure that you still wanted the files since we are not able to produce
CSV reports. I will not let them know to proceed and will advise the
delivery.

Good morning, Mr. Nash.

My name is Elizabeth Sundberg and I am your contact for FOIA requests for
the Council. We will gladly provide all disclosure forms with you for the

can send those to you.

Please feel free to contact me at this email address or you may call me at

Thank you and kind regards,
