Residents press city on delayed open‑records production; administration cites document volume and redaction work

A resident, Alessandro, said records requested after the July 21 council meeting remained incomplete more than 60 days later and that he had contacted the Kentucky attorney general. Alessandro told council: "to date I still don't have all of those records. Um, we're on past 60 days at this point."

City staff said retrieving and redacting 4,000 emails required extra staff time after the retirement of the previous clerk and that rolling productions had already delivered thousands of pages; staff pledged to finish the current set of redactions within days and to copy council on communications. Council members asked for clearer timelines and wondered whether better software or automated redaction tools could speed future responses.
