Board of Trustees
Village of Cayuga Heights
Marcham Hall
836 Hanshaw Road
Ithaca, New York 14850
Dear Trustees:
Under the provisions of the New York Freedom of Information Law, Article 6 of the Public Officers Law, I hereby request a
copy of records or portions thereof pertaining to (or containing the following):
1. From January 1, 2006 to the present, all invoices received by the Village of Cayuga Heights for legal services, in itemized
form if those exist.
2. From January 1, 2012 to the present, all documents, reports, and/or communications/correspondence/memos/emails
regarding:
A) The audit of Village finances; and
B) Irregularities in Village finances
Under current New York State law, if an agency has the ability to scan records in order to transmit them via email and doing so
will not involve any effort additional to an alternative method of responding, it is required to do so. In that instance, transferring
a paper record into electronic format would eliminate any need to collect and account for money owed or paid for preparing
paper copies, as well as tasks that would otherwise be carried out. In addition, when a paper record is converted into a digital
image it remains available in electronic format for future use.
If all the requested records cannot be emailed to me, please inform me by email of the portions that cannot be emailed and
advise me of the cost for reproducing the remainder of the records requested. If, for any reason, any portion of my request is
denied, please inform me of the reasons for the denial in writing and provide the name and address of the person or body to
whom an appeal should be directed.
As you know, the Freedom of Information Law requires that an agency respond to a request within five business days of receipt
of a request. Therefore, I would appreciate a response as soon as possible and look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Sincerely,
Jenny Stein
