Dear Bridget,
We sincerely appreciate your patience. In this case, the records entailed a substantial amount of analysis for applicable exemptions. This involves coordinated work across multiple departments. This work is still ongoing and anticipated to take another couple of weeks before we can close the request. However, I have records available to release today and as a courtesy am waiving the charge. I estimate the second installment being available June 25, 2021.
