On Monday, Heaphy and state officials did not respond to requests for more information about which records might be shared in such an agreement.

In response to a recent Freedom of Information Act request for records of the state’s requests for information from the city, officials from the city’s attorney, communications and police departments last week said they have not seen any formal FOIA requests from the state.

On Monday, Jones said Heaphy has been the primary point of contact with state officials and that the city has been developing “an information-sharing protocol.”

Jones said the state is considering their requests, which he said has included requests for interviews with Virginia State Police personnel and members of a Virginia Department of Emergency Management team that was in Charlottesville on Aug. 12.

Earlier this month, a city spokesperson informed a Daily Progress reporter that a recent request for messages between the city and Heaphy may remain privileged as confidential attorney-client communications.

In an interview earlier this month, Jones said other options for reviewing the Aug. 12 rally were considered, but that he made the decision to hire Heaphy after consulting each city councilor individually.
