Ms. Davis -

I may file a written complaint with the state attorney general for excessive fees, as well as effective denial of my request by virtue of characterizing it as "overly burdensome" for electronic production. Per Ky. Rev. Stat. 61.880(4):

"If a person feels the intent of KRS 61.870 to 61.884 is being subverted by an agency short of denial of inspection, including but not limited to the imposition of excessive fees or the misdirection of the applicant, the person may complain in

writing to the Attorney General, and the complaint shall be subject to the same adjudicatory process as if the record had been denied."

Please direct me to revisions to the statute or relevant caselaw, if I am incorrect in citing the above.

On the matter of electronic production of records: in what format do you currently store your emails? The statute indicates that I may request production of documents in the format in which they are stored, or else in ASCII as the standard electronic format. (I am relying on Ky. Rev. Stat. 61.874(2)(b) for this — if there is another provision I am missing.) Does your agency store official emails in hard copy, or in electronic format? If emails are stored in electronic format, please elaborate.

I look forward to receiving these documents as requested under KORA.

Respectfully,

Shawn Musgrave
