Good afternoon -

The City of York has been closed since August 6, 2020, due to a physical attack on its IT servers. I am unable to access any documents, including those related to this request. At this time, I am unable to estimate when a response will be forthcoming.

There are several options: we can put the request on 'hold' until the servers are repaired/replaced; or you can withdraw the request and resubmit it next month or when the City of York has functioning servers (I will contact you at that time); or we can deny the request as this is a disastrous situation for the City of York. I am also open to suggestions.

I look forward to hearing from you.

The response to your Right to Know request was due August 6, 2020. As a result of the attack on the City of York's IT server on August 5, 2020, the City is unable to fulfill the request at this time and requests an additional extension of thirty days (September 5, 2020).

I am hopeful that the request will be filled prior to that time.

Thank you in advance -
