UPDATE: Mandeville Daily receives part of remaining public records requests

P&Z records received

Waiting on readable Bush, McGuire texts

Response for ‘hard copy’ and ‘handwritten notes’ imminent

MANDEVILLE — The City of Mandeville recently turned over Sucette Harbor-related text messages, emails and other electronic documents from Planning & Zoning Commission members, but Mandeville Daily still awaits the results of two other public records requests made last month.

The City says it finally has readable versions of most of council members Rebecca Bush and Jill McGuire’s text messages, however, there are still some that are not in readable form and they are working to resolve the issue, according to Assistant City Attorney David Parnell Jr.

Originally, none of the text messages from Bush and McGuire were readable.

In addition to the aforementioned records requests, Mandeville Daily requested “hard copy” or “handwritten notes” from certain council members when it was learned that not all on the council were asked for such documents in the Woodward Interests public records request from September 11th.

Only council members Jason Zuckerman and Jill McGuire were asked to produce printed documents. Mandeville Daily had mistakenly thought that the Woodward public records requests to each council member were identical, hence we requested the same. We regret this error.

According to City Attorney Elizabeth Sconzert, the printed document results from Danielson, Kreller and Bush are imminent.
