Today, Colorado Citizens for Ethics in Government (CCEG) delivered an open records request to the Longmont City Clerk. I'll be working with CCEG to examine the records related to the LifeBridge annexation. Specifically, CCEG asked for:

(1) All documents submitted by LifeBridge and its 4C Corporation;
(2) Environmental impact statements or assessments;
(3) All documents considered by the City Council and City employees in relation to the annexation;
(4) All documents relating to LifeBridge's tax-exempt status and the tax exemptions applicable to the proposed LifeBridge development;
(5) All documents relating to whether any City employees or Council members are affiliated with LifeBridge; and
(6) All correspondence between City employees, City Council members, and LifeBridge representatives.

Colorado law requires that the City respond to this request within 3 business days. I'll post a summary of these documents as soon as I can.

~ Jen

Jen, Thanks for making this happen. I plan to stay active in exploring the process that was involved in this annexation . I think we will see some serious ethical, and, perhaps, legal issues at play here. Let's keep the full press going.

FOIA requests can be a great way to learn more about what's going on the some agencies heads, and it can also be an incredibly frustrating procees. Often, the agencies throw up roadblocks (in the form of excessive charges, time delays and outright refusals to respond), in order to control the flow of information. I hope your requests go smoothly -- let us know at www.WikiFOIA.org!
