Re: FOIA/OMA Requests Draft Minutes and Recordings
Carla Haynes, Michigan Commission for the Blind, FOIA Officer
(via e-mail)
Dear Ms. Haynes,
I am writing today to request pursuant to obligations under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act and the Michigan Open Meetings Act the draft minutes of the August27, 2010 MCB quarterly board meeting. They may simply be sent, as in the past to my e-mail listed above as a Word attachment.
Again in the interest of open government and to meet the spirit of the Open Meetings Act I am puzzled as to why the draft minutes are not routinely posted to MCB’s web site as I’ve suggested many times before. I would not have to bother you or staff with these requests if that sort of transparency took place.
In addition, as in the past I am requesting that you send me the mp3 recordings on CD or, as you did last time on a thumb drive of the August 28, 2010 meeting. in MCB’s action plans and in other literature the archiving of these recordings was supposed to have been implemented on MCB’s web site years ago. At least that was the professed promise of the Commission. I would not have to bother you with these requests if the archiving of these files was actually implemented for I would just access them online or download them for later review.
Regardless, I thank you for your past prompt responses to these requests and thank you in advance for your prompt response to this one.
Sincerely,
Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.
