2006 Campus Box 51 Greeley, CO 80639 Dear Mr. Haas, Pursuant to the state open records law, Colo. Rev. Stat. Secs. 24-72-101 to 24-72-402, I write to request access to and a copy of a list of all employees (excluding the athletic department) by position with total compensation over $100,000. This includes, but not limited to, salaries, bonuses, insurance, travel allowance, retirement contributions, cell phone allowances, and over time payments for 2010 and 2011. Also, all "end of year" summaries for overtime paid to all departments and/or to all employees for 2008-2010, or any spreadsheet or document that tracks overtime by department and/or by employee. I prefer the information be in electronic format if possible. If your agency does not maintain these public records, please let me know who does and include the proper custodian's name and address. I agree to pay any reasonable copying and postage fees of not more than $75.00. If the cost would be greater than this amount, please notify me. Please provide a receipt indicating the charges for each document. As provided by the open records law, I will expect your response with three (3) business days. If you choose to deny this request, please provide a written explanation for the denial including a reference to the specific statutory exemption(s) upon which you rely. Also, please provide all segregable portions of otherwise exempt material. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely,

Amy O Cooke Director, Colorado Transparency Project Independence Institute 13952 Denver West Parkway Suite 400 Golden, CO 80401 amy@i2i.org 970-371-3413
