The Holly Springs Fire and Rescue Commission’s apparent disregard for the state’s Freedom of Information Act continued last week as a response to a Freedom of Information request admitted the commission failed to take minutes at all unscheduled meetings for the past year.
A letter from attorney Kenneth Anthony representing the commission in response to an FOI request made by Hometown News via certified letter to Commission Chairman Ryan Phillips dated June 24 said that the commission “has no documents responsive to your request.”
The request asked to inspect or have copies made of all minutes notes and other pertinent records from all non-scheduled commission meetings from July 1, 2009, to June 16, 2010, with specific reference to any proceedings concerning financial matters of the department.
