Your ORA Request has been forwarded to the Litigation Division in the Office of the City Attorney for the City of Tulsa as the Custodian of the records you request. Your request as submitted is extremely vague and burdensome. Please revise your request to narrow the request; provide definition of the terms you use and limit the amount of years in the request to a more reasonable timeframe. In addition, as you may be aware, the City of Tulsa Legal Department is currently operating under furlough reduced hours and we will review and respond appropriately to your revised request as schedules allow. We appreciate your patience. Please direct all follow-up correspondence to the undersigned. Thank you.
