RE: my public records request of February 5, 2013 (your identifier: P2013-0348)
Dear Sir or Madam:
I appeal. Metadata is missing. Electronic records were apparently converted to paper, then digitized, removing information and rendering the records less useful to the public than they would be in their original form.
Sincerely,
