Ms. Joanne Riford,

Please see the attached response to your FOIL request dated 5/24/22. This response was mailed out to you on 5/27/22 to the address on the request which I will list below. Please let me know if this is no longer a good address. I mailed this out as I have had issues with the Muckrock numbered e-mail addresses. Hopefully you get this. I received a voicemail today from a blocked caller that did not leave a phone number for me to call back.

V/R,
J Haug

Mr. Haug,

I am checking on the status of my FOIL request, orginally submitted on 5/24/2022. Thank you.

From: Tonawanda Town Police Department

To whom it may concern,

On June 15, 2022, the Town of Tonawanda received a FOIL Appeal from an unnamed party requesting police records previously sought regarding 44 Claremont Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14223, within the time period of January 1, 2010 to June 13, 2022, although the initial FOIL request was made on May 24, 2022. The communication received indicates that the sender prefers to receive the response at the above email address.

Although the Town's FOIL Officer did respond appropriately via email and within three (3) days of the initial request it is now alleged that no response was received and the request was constructively denied. That allegation is denied , however, attached hereto in pdf are the records requested in the FOIL Appeal, subject to redactions of identifying information to protect against any unwarranted invasion of privacy.

Please consider this the final administrative action to be taken by the Town of Tonawanda with regard to these requests.
