Mr. Sinyangwe,

As I process your PRA request I'm looking for some clarification as to # 6 of your request. Sheriff's Deputies work for the County of Shasta not the City of Redding, are you looking for the contract between deputies and the County?

Thank you,

Denise Barnhart
Records Supervisor

From: Samuel Sinyangwe

Yes, the contract between the *county* and the deputies' union.

From: Shasta County Sheriff

Mr. Sinyangwe,

I requesting an extension for the request below. This is due to the voluminous nature of the request and the amount documents that need to be searched. If you would accept a partial response to your request for documents that can be obtained relatively quickly, I can have the response to you next week.

Please let me know if this is acceptable.

Sincerely,

Denise Barnhart
Records Supervisor

From: Shasta County Sheriff

To Whom It May Concern,

On 6/17/2019 I sent an email requesting an extension, as parts of the request are voluminous in nature. I also asked if you would accept a partial response for the documents that can be obtained relatively quickly, but I hadn't received a response.

Please let me know if a partial response at this time is agreeable.

Thank you,

Denise Barnhart
Records Supervisor

Hi, sure please send the partial information for now while you process the remaining aspects of the request.
