One more thing, Janelle. I looked over my request and it looks like it requires more info for a waiver that I didn’t attach. Am I able to provide more in-depth context for that here? Or should I email you a document?

Hello - There is the $60 waiver in the public interest which is in the UIPA law. As a general policy, HDOA does not exempt media from UIPA fees other than the waiver in the public interest. If you disagree with our policy, you may appeal to the Office of Information Practices.

Thank you! I don't know why they didn't go through. I'm trying to Google what the file limit is on gmail attachments, but I don't see it being a problem with Zip, though not sure. Was it to <<email address>> Thanks again. Glad I reached out!
