Dear Mr. Olsen,

I received your Jefferson Development Corporation (JDC) letter of October 12 in the envelope postmarked October 14, which also contained your other two letters from the Commerce and Industry Association.

I find it exceedingly perverse that a letter can consist of seven repetitions of the phrase
"No response needed" yet be followed by the phrase "I think this adequately addresses your October 5, 1999 letter". Again, like our last exchange, you had my October 6 letter to the JDC in hand but did not respond to it, and now send an essentially blank letter in response.

I also received the agenda of the October 19 meeting of the JDC. On it is an item
"Open records update." In your previous letters from just a few days ago, you asked to schedule a meeting to discuss how my open records requests could be granted while protecting confidentiality. I asked that this question be discussed at the next JDC meeting. You refused, claiming "This is not possible." Has this changed? Shall I be sure to attend the meeting in order to discuss this issue? My request for minutes and agendas from 1994 to the present has not been fulfilled.

Also, as stated by JDC President Gaylin Morgan at the August 17 meeting of the JDC,
"As soon as these meetings are opened up, then there'd be a cry to hold them at 8 o'clock at night rather than 6:30 in the morning." I wholeheartedly agree. JDC meetings should be held at a more reasonable hour to allow more citizens to more easily participate.

I would also like a better explanation of the agenda item "Board membership." Several times in writing since April 1999 I have asked to join the JDC as a member (never as Board member,
I might clarify), but I have not had a response. Several times in writing I have urged the JDC Board to clarify how I or any other Jefferson area resident can become a member of the JDC.

Pursuant to the state open records law, Wis. Stat. sec. 19.31 to 19.39, I write to request access to view the long distance telephone records for the Jefferson Development Corporation for August and September 1998, and May, June and July 1999.

I would like a copy of the Quickbooks company file for the JDC on a floppy disk. My September 8 request asked for electronic financial records, not paper records.

I would also like a copy of any correspondence sent by members of the JDC Board or staff to anyone at the offices of the Jefferson County District Attorney, the Wisconsin Attorney General's office, and the League of Municipalities, between August 1998 and the present. I would prefer to receive this correspondence in electronic form, on floppy disk, as soon as practicable and without delay.

Sincerely,
