Good Morning Jason,

Instead of an agency-wide search, the department recommends that the search of records be limited to our Division of Agricultural Resource Management (Plant Industry Bureau) as well as our Bureau of Consumer Protection. These two areas are the most likely to have records responsive to your request and will streamline the process for gathering the appropriate files, especially as it relates to searching emails/internal communication.

Please let me know if you would like to move forward with this narrowed search.

Thank you,

Hi Emily,

Thanks for providing these documents. It looks like the OneDrive share has disabled document downloading so that we can't actually download the files. Can this be enabled or them provided in another manner?

Thank you!
