  Re:  Inventory Vendor for the Business Enterprise Program

  Dear Mr. Harcz, Jr.:

  This letter is in response to your January 31, 2012, email request for copies of public records, received on February 1, 2012, in this office.  Please be informed that the Department's Michigan Commission for the Blind (MCB) is processing this request under the state's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), MCL 15.231 et seq.

  You have requested information as described in your email, a copy of which is below.

  Your request is partially granted and partially denied as to existing, nonexempt records in the possession of this department responsive to your request.

  The email attached is a string of questions and answers between yourself and Ms. Constance Zanger, Manager of the Business Enterprise Program (BEP) for MCB.

  As to the granted portion of your request, I am providing information for the "Could you break down what we paid her (Natalie Maynard) for the equipment inventory?" and including additional invoices for services provided for the inventory of BEP equipment by Mr. Larry LaFerriere.

  As to the denied portion of your request, redactions have been made for addresses and social security numbers per FOIA, 15.243 MCL, Section 13 (1)(a) "Information of a personal nature if public disclosure of the information would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of an individual's privacy" in regards to addresses and (w) "Information or records that would disclose the social security number of any individual."

  We will not charge for the cost of this FOIA but this does not prohibit us from charging you or any other requestor for other requests.

  Sincerely,

  Carla Miller Haynes, FOIA Coordinator

  Hello, Joe;

  Those are the amounts the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs paid to Ms. 

  Maynard in 2011.  Ms. Maynard provided more services to the Department than those 

  she provided to B E P.
