Dear Mr. Rodriguez,

My apologies in the delayed response, the Mayor's office was just informed of your April 16, 2016 request. I need to conduct a bit of research before being able to determine if the City has responsive records and where they may be. I estimate I can provide you with a response on or about May 31, 2016.

Sincerely,
