RESPONSE TO RECORDS REQUEST
April 13, 2015,
Dear Mr. Corrente:
Please be aware that your public record request contained a list of questions which are not
relevant under the Access to Public Record Act. There is no documentation responsive to
your request; however, | compiled the data as requested. You asked for the number of
businesses in the City of Warwick each year from 2010 through 2014. | have reiterated the
answers to your questions below. This information completes your request. If you are not
satisfied with the answer given, please see the appeal procedure in the last paragraph.

Number of Businesses on 2013 Tax Roll
Number of Businesses on 2014 Tax Roll
gehen
The number of businesses in the above list includes all businesses on the City’s tax roll for
each year, including exempt entities, and regardless of payment status. In your request, you
asked for the number of new businesses for each tax year; however, the software system does
not currently have any coding or reporting ability to determine that information. Per subsection
(h) of RIGL § 38-2-3, the City is not required to compile this data, as it is not maintained in the
requested form.
In accordance with RIGL 38-2-8, you may wish to appeal this decision to Mayor Scott
Avedisian (3275 Post Road, Warwick, RI 02886). You may also wish to file a complaint with
the Department of the Attorney General (150 South Main Street, Providence, RI 02903) or the
Rhode Island Superior Court of the county where the record(s) are maintained. It is also my
understanding that additional information concerning the Access to Public Records Act may be
available through the Attorney General's website at www.riag.ri.gov.
Thank you for your interest in keeping government open and accountable to the public.‘Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 2:36 PM
