If you are interested in receiving a specific attachment, please contact this office at the address below.

FOIA Exemption 6 exempts from disclosure personnel or med cal files and similar files the release of which would cause a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. This requires a balancing of the public ' s right to disclosure against the individual' :; right to privacy. The privacy interests of the individuals in the records you have requested l)Utweigh any minimal public interest in disclosure of the information. Any private interest you may have in that information does not factor into the aforementioned balancing test.
