Hi,

Thanks for the information about the fees. I actually would like to revise the request to narrow the scope of the documents I'm requesting. Can I please follow up with you over the next week or so to resubmit a revised request by 9/15/23? Can you also send or direct me to an explanation of costs and fees for researching and providing the records?

Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for the explanation of fees. Can you tell me what the estimated cost would be for only records or documents of the initial complaint reports from the same dates, from January 1, 2019 to current?

Thanks

Hi,

I'd like to narrow the scope a bit further for the document search and request the same documents for only the timeframe of January 1, 2019 to February 1, 2019. I'd also like to schedule time and get location information for where I will need to come in order to inspect and copy the documents myself.

Thank you.

Hi,
I'm following up on the following The Missouri Sunshine Law request, copied below, and originally submitted on Sept. 3, 2023. I wanted to check on the status of my request, and to see if there was a new estimated completion date because your last response dated 10/17/23 gives a completion date of 10/6/23 which was a few weeks ago. You had assigned it reference number #23-14626.

Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.
