Dear Ms. Watts,
I hope you are doing well. Thank you again for your assistance with Open Records Request PRR-726-2025 and for keeping me informed throughout the process.
I am writing to request clarification regarding Invoice #PRR-726-2025-INV-1 dated January 6, 2026, which reflects a $500 charge described as a deposit for records preparation.
When I approved the estimate on December 22, 2025, my understanding was that the anticipated cost was approximately two (2) hours of staff time at $27 per hour, less the fifteen minutes provided at no charge, and I was advised that the records would be ready by January 9, 2026. I may be misunderstanding, but the current invoice appears to differ from that initial estimate, and I did not see a revised estimate or explanation accompanying the invoice.
If you don’t mind, could you please help me understand:
Whether the scope or complexity of the request changed after the original estimate;
How the $500 amount was calculated; and
Whether an itemized estimate or breakdown is available for review.
I am, of course, happy to pay any lawful and properly estimated costs associated with fulfilling the request and simply want to be sure I understand the basis for the updated charge before proceeding.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I appreciate your help and look forward to your guidance on next steps.
Warm regards,
Sarah Zeeman
