Please clarify the following:
You are requesting data for 20 years, and such long time period makes the request large and difficult to process. Would it be acceptable if we provide data for 5 years, or 10 years?
The price per installment will be $1.25. At this time I am unable to determine the number of installments.
At this time, we anticipate that we will be able to provide requested records or a first installment of records on or about 12/12/2023. However, please note that this time estimate may change depending on any clarification you provide and as we continue to process your request.
Sincerely,
Seattle Human Resources Department
