From the Huntersville Herald Weekly (7/7/11): Almost three months after the Herald Weekly requested Town of Davidson emails on Visit Lake Norman and MI-Connection, the town has yet to produce them.
Officials for the town and Nucentric, the town’s information-technology provider, say they’ve dealt with only one such request in the past and the town’s current email system does not lend itself easily to searches.
Nucentric President Jon Allred said his staff has had to write queries to retrieve email, but the town’s current system remains inefficient.
Allred estimated his staff already has devoted 60 hours of work on the request by the Herald and one other individual.
Public Information Officer Megan Pillow Davis and Assistant Town Manager Dawn Blobaum said the staff also has to devise a system for reviewing the emails to avoid releasing information exempted by the N.C. Public Records Law, such as information involving personnel, police investigations and contract negotiations.
