From: Tom Nash

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

Any memos, emails, or reports regarding the decision to allow military service members to march in uniform in the 2012 San Diego gay pride parade.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Tom Nash

Dear Mr. Nash,

In order for us to process your request, we need you to state an amount you are willing to pay. We will inform you of the total charges prior to fulfilling your request - however, to begin processing, we need your agreement to pay either a dollar amount or all reasonable fees. A decision on your request for a fee waiver will be made after the volume and nature of responsive records is determined.

Please contact me directly with any questions.

From: Tom Nash

Hello Ms. Aldofer,

MuckRock would be willing to pay up to $500 for the records in the event a fee waiver is not granted.

Thanks
