911 Coordinating Council

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the The Kansas Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Pursuant to the Kansas Open Records Act please provide the letter sent by the 911 Coordinator Council to the Shawnee County District Attorney. The letter was discussed and voted on in open session of the 911 Coordinating Council on August 10, 2018. A letter discussed in an open meeting, voted on in an open meeting and sent as the result of an open meeting is considered an open record.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Richard Eater

The minutes from the meeting indicates that a letter was sent on behalf of the council to the DA. It has been stated often and recognized by the 911 council that you are the record-keepers for the council. Please direct me to the person who wrote and delivered the letter.

On November 8, 2018 we were informed that "The letter that you are referring to has yet to be drafted by our attorney. Our attorney is out on medical leave. As soon as we have it in our possession we will get it to you."

Please provide an update as it seems concerning a letter mentioned in an open meeting three months previous is still not being written or provided to the DA.

On November 8, 2018 we were informed that "The letter that you are referring to has yet to be drafted by our attorney. Our attorney is out on medical leave. As soon as we have it in our possession we will get it to you."

December 19, 2018 we were informed that "We have been in contact with the attorney. The letter is expected in the very near future and we will provide you with a copy as soon as we have it."

Please provide an update as it seems concerning a letter mentioned in an open meeting 8 months ago that was supposed to be sent to the DA is still not being provided.

On November 5, 2018, we made the following KORA to the 911 coordinating council. "To Whom It May Concern: Pursuant to the The Kansas Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records: "Pursuant to the Kansas Open Records Act please provide the letter sent by the 911 Coordinator Council to the Shawnee County District Attorney. The letter was discussed and voted on in open session of the 911 Coordinating Council on August 10, 2018. A letter discussed in an open meeting, voted on in an open meeting and sent as the result of an open meeting is considered an open record."

On November 7, 2018 we were informed via letter that "We have completed our search for records that may be responsive to your request for records. Please be advised that we possess no records that are responsive to your request for records. Because the effort to identify responsive records was de minimis, there will be no charge. I trust this information is useful. Please feel free to contact us again concerning any matter within our jurisdiction."

On November 8, 2018 we provided the following information to the 911 coordinating council "The minutes from the meeting indicates that a letter was sent on behalf of the council to the DA. It has been stated often and recognized by the 911 council that you are the record-keepers for the council. Please direct me to the person who wrote and delivered the letter."

Next on November 8, 2018 we were informed that "The letter that you are referring to has yet to be drafted by our attorney. Our attorney is out on medical leave. As soon as we have it in our possession we will get it to you."

After asking for an update, on December 19, 2018 we were informed that "We have been in contact with the attorney. The letter is expected in the very near future and we will provide you with a copy as soon as we have it."

We sent to them on March 13, 2019 asking that they "Please provide an update as it seems concerning a letter mentioned in an open meeting 8 months ago that was supposed to be sent to the DA is still not being provided."

On March 13, 2019, they sent back to us and informed us "Good morning, We are still working on this. We are working on the legal aspects and hope to have this finalized within the next week and a half. I will get that forwarded to you just as soon as we have it.
Thanks for checking in. Have a great week. Lori"

As of April 20, 2019 we have not received a reply nor the requested update from them.

Please get back to us as this is sure not a way to run a public place.
