Aloha Brian - I have it ready and I will send it to you by this afternoon. Thank you for your patience. Mahalo, Amanda…

Aloha Brian, Mahalo again for your patience. Please see the attached FY21 DHS UIPA Log and let me know if you have any questions. When you have a chance, please let me know when the next log is due to you? Mahalo, Amanda…

Aloha Brian, do you have a quick second to chat. Amanda Stevens Public Information Officer Department of Human Services 1390 Miller Street, Room 209 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone number: (808)586-4892 Fax number: (808)586-4890 Email: <<email address>> On 1/12/22, 10:08 AM, "R. Brian Black" < <name and email address> > wrote: Mahalo nui, Amanda. This is what I needed. I have an annual reminder to request these logs from OIP at the beginning of October. Agencies that have the opportunity to submit the logs to OIP before October never even see a request from me. I then follow up with agencies that are not included in OIP's batch. That usually takes me a few weeks to sort out, so typically sometime in November I send out requests to individual agencies.

Aloha Brian, There have been updates to the FY21 DHS Log (please see attached): 1) I've included information to more accurately show the outcomes. 2) Items were removed that fell outside of the Fiscal Year. 3) I've noted that we did not bill anyone for their request (in light of the public health emergency.) Please let me know if you have any questions.
