Dear Ms. Sanford:

This letter is to acknowledge receipt of your Public Records Request 09-095 received on March 30, 2009, and respond to your request. You are seeking the following records:

1. Budget scenarios provided to the Budget Committee at the end of January; 2. Budget proposals from the College of Communications, College of Liberal Arts, College of Business, Office of the Provost, Office of the President, and University Relations; and 3. Any reports documenting trends or summaries in regards to the above proposals.

Your request must be denied. We are withholding the records you requested from production in accordance with RCW 42.56.280, which provides that preliminary drafts, notes, recommendations, and intra-agency memorandums in which opinions are expressed or policies formulated or recommended, etc. are exempt from disclosure until publicly cited by an agency in connection with any agency action.

This concludes the University's response to your request for public records.
