Per the requirements of the ORA, please advise me of any costs associated with compliance with this request before those costs are incurred. Should this request be denied in whole or in part, you are required by O.C.G.A. 50-18-72(h) to cite specifically the statutory exemption to the ORA upon which you are relying to deny access to a record. If a portion of a record is exempt from disclosure but other portions are not, you are required to redact the exempt portion of the record and provide access to those portions of the record, which are not exempt from disclosure. As you may know, intentionally denying access to a record that is not specifically exempt from disclosure is a crime, as is the intentional wrongful destruction of a government record.
