FOIA req for 2 years of Board Minutes (24 months) of records from 30 years ago. 1 wk later: FOIA officer called requestor (A) who requested on behalf of group & wanted more specfics. We were specfic, but sent another copy e-mail. He called (A) again. wanted more info -(A) became frustrated and said B (now requestor B). I repeated again via e-mail what was wanted. Told it's now a "new" request. But they aren't denying request.
a. Couple week later I email to inspect records. Foia officer "they are fragile".
b. Couple days later public body "there is nothing in the records that reference any of the terms, people we referred to".
c. I again ask to inspect records.
d. Receive a phone call - Don't you trust us, FOIA officer "I looked through all the records requested. I'll have to pull the records that aren't public, and I'm very busy, etc. etc." I ask Foia officer if denying request please put in writing. Really no response except very very busy.
e. My e-mail quoted the statute that states the right to public review of those records, no acknowledgment. Is there anything else I can do get the public body to allow me to inspect those records?
Since they are NOT denying my request - they just claim that there isn't anything in the records.
