Pursuant to the FOIA policies of the Town of Gretna and the laws of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), local governments are only required to provide access to existing public records or documents, and are not required to answer general or specific questions. Therefore, in this response, with respect to Question 1, the question has previously been asked and answered, with respect to Question 2, the question has also been previously asked and answered and with respect to the last part of Question 2, the policies of the Town of Gretna regarding FOIA requests are available on the Town’s website. With respect to Question 3, Question 4, Question 5, Question 6 and Question 7, those questions will not be answered, but you are more than welcome to return to the Town office and view 1380 documents (providing you pay the Town its fees of $588.33) which have previously been made available to you and which also deal with the subject matter of the foregoing inquiries. Sir, if you will just visit our Town office one more time and simply pay the $588.33 that you owe the Town, you will in all likelihood find one of more of your desperately needed answers to Questions 3 through 7 in those documents. The Town hereby voluntarily provides you with the attached written report addressing the concerns expressed in Question No. 6 regarding the September 9, 2026, sampling- verification inspection and/or bacteriological sample in the Franklin Boulevard area. The testing referenced in the report was conducted on September 9, 2026, at one of the Town’s routine sampling locations, however, the sample was not collected or === PAGE 3 === tested specifically at Franklin Boulevard. We are providing this information for your review and consideration in connection with your Question No. 6 inquiry. Oh, and by the way, there is no financial charge for the report since its consists of only two pages, as opposed to the 1380 pages that the Town previously made available to you for your possible inspection, but which you have thus far declined to inspect because of your unwillingness until this date to pay the fee of $588.33 which was due to the Town. As you already know, you have 30 days, to make an appointment and come by to pay your bill and view your documents. We look forward to seeing you then, Sir. Have a great weekend, Mr. Jones and be blessed and happy always. [Handwritten signature redacted.] Rev.
