Rachel Stenta,
I’d like clarification re: one of the documents you sent to me subsequent to my GRAMA request last November. The document in question (attached below) is an email sent by City Manager Rebecca Davidson on October 19, 2015. The email contains a draft statement composed by Councilwoman Ershadi in defense of the council’s actions, after local media reported the dismissals of longtime staff Ken Davey and David Olsen and the recent restructuring of Moab city government departments
The subject line simply states, “Thoughts?” and is clearly a request for input re: Ershadi’s draft.
The email address of the recipient has been redacted. But the name of the recipient was left on the page. It says “Tara S.” I’m only aware of one person named Tara employed by the City at that time, Tara Penner (with a P) and in light of recent events, it is unlikely the email was intended for her. The only other possibility is that the email was intended for Tara Smelt (with an S).
If this message was not sent to Ms. Smelt, please correct us. If I don’t hear from you by Monday, I’ll assume our interpretation of “Tara S” is accurate.
Best regards,
Jim Stiles, publisher
