Communications

From: Shawn Musgrave

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Rhode Island Access to Public Records Act ("APRA"), I hereby request the following records:

Written procedures for access to the agency’s public records, including any records request forms required or suggested by the agency

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 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Shawn Musgrave

Warren Rhode Island does not have a form. Please send me the list of documents you are requesting. Many of the documents in my office are on-line or readily available so I would be able to email them to you if I have them digitally. If I have to research to fine the documents it may take a little longer.

Thank you

Julie

Thank you for your help.

Hello Ms. Coelho,

Thank you for your help in this request. Please do let me know if I may clarify the request for the APRA procedures that are utilized by the Town of Warren.

I am also wondering if a similar but separate request that was submitted to the Warren Finance Department may have been forwarded to you, as I have not yet received acknowledgement of that request.

All the best.

From: Julie Coelho

Hi
Warren follows State law on the procedure. 90% of the requests are verbal and can be done at that moment. If it is something we can't do immediately or more involved I ask for the request in writing. It doesn't have to be on a special form. I will accept a quick note. Sorry it took so long when I received this request I started to research this and found Warren doesn't have the procedure in writing. I am in the process of creating a procedure in writing and will forward to you once I have it approved. I will also be posting it on the Town's website. Once again sorry for the delay. If you have a specific documents please just list them and I will get them for you.

Respectfully

Julie

Thank you for your response. Can you confirm whether the Warren Finance Department forwarded a similar request to you for response? It was sent to mabbruzzi@townofwarren-ri.gov on March 31.

Thank you!

From: Julie Coelho

Hi
All of the Town of Warren Departments except for the Police Department will have the same process. So Finance will follow the one I am waiting for approval on.

Hello,

Understood. Can you confirm, though, whether the Finance Department forwarded this request to your office? To date I have yet to receive any response on the request sent directly to Finance, and I am trying to ascertain whether it was received.

Thank you for your help!

I still don't know what question you are asking. As of right now I do not have a written policy. I am working on it but waiting for approval.
