Dear Natalie St. John, Thank you for your inquiry.

The Department of Health received your public records request on June 08, 2021 for the following records:

“Washington State Department Of Health
Washington Public Records Act Office
PO Box 47865
Olympia, WA 98504
June 8, 2021
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Washington Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Any and all hiring and personnel records for Dr. Leonard "Len" Paulozzi, for any paid, elected, appointed or volunteer position he has held in your agency. I do not have specific dates of his employment, but I know he last worked as a DOH employee at least 24 years ago, so records may be limited. It is possibly that he may have taken special assignments or acted in an advisory or consulting capacity more recently, as he was a frequent collaborator with Washington state agencies in efforts to research and combat the opioid epidemic.
These records should include, but are not limited to:
• Job/Volunteer position applications
• Financial and conflict of interest disclosures
• Resumes and CVs
• Letters concerning offers, hire, promotion, disciplinary proceedings and/or dismissals
• Documentation of commendations, recommendations and rewards
• Training records
• Contracts for services
• Salary and bonus records
• Disciplinary actions and/or investigations and/or decisions
• Letters of resignation
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 thumb-drive if not. Paper copies are my third choice. I do not have the capacity to view CD-roms or DVDs.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Natalie St. John”
