Details: Under the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, we formally request that your office provide us with public spending information, including both capital and operating expenditures, for payments made by or on behalf of The University of Connecticut Health Center during fiscal year 2024. Specifically, for any payee other than a regular employee or student paid a cumulative total amount of more than $5,000, we seek the payee name, address and the cumulative total
dollar amount paid to the subject payee over the relevant time period. The $5,000 threshold was established to minimize reporting for respondents. This is the same format information that Kayla Postler was kind enough to provide via email for fiscal year 2023.
The information is to be used for research aimed at identifying patterns of spending by public entities. No part of the data will be used as a mailing list and your supplying the information cannot be construed as an endorsement of either your payees or our work. Of course we are willing to reimburse your office for any reasonable expense incurred in preparing the requested information if an estimate of costs is provided for our approval before
the work is performed. We would prefer to receive the data in CSV, text, PDF document, or Excel spreadsheet attached to an email, via our file sharing website to our secure server, or on PC-formatted media sent by mail.
Should you have questions or need to advise us to redirect this request, we can be reached at 800-810-3846 or via e-mail at HigherEd@acmeresearch.com. Kindly confirm receipt of this letter and contact our office to let us know your time frame for a response. Thank you for your assistance!
