Subject: MR#34082-342274 - Open Records Request: Emergency Management Assistance
Compact for Standing Rock NoDAPL Protests (Vilas County Sheriff's Office)

Fax

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to Wisconsin's Open Records act, I hereby request the following
records:

Documents pertaining to the deployment of personnel in regards to the North
Dakota Governor issuing a state of emergency in response to protests at Standing
Rock over the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Documents sought are
as follows:
-memos or requests received from the North Dakota Governor's Office, Morton
County Sheriff's Department, North Dakota Emergency Management Agency, or North
Dakota Highway Patrol for help under the Emergency Management Assistance
Compact.
-Any written direction as to what role VCSO officers would be undertaking as
they engaged in controlling the protest.
-Requests from the aforementioned North Dakota agencies for specific equipment
to be brought to the Standing Rock protest area for their use in controlling the
protest. This equipment may include but is not limited to surveillance devices
including cell site simulators or social media surveillance software, or crowd
control methods such as long range acoustic devices, water cannons, rubber
bullets, tear gas, pepper spray, MRAP's, or tasers. This list is not meant to be
conclusive.
-any bills, contracts, agreements, invoices, or other financial documentation
for services rendered in helping to control the Standing Rock NoDAPL protests.
These documents would likely be sent to the 4 aforementioned North Dakota
agencies.

As a member of the news media working for MuckRock News I request that a fee
waiver for my request be granted. My work has also been published by national
outlets. My work for Motherboard can be viewed at the following link:
http://motherboard.vice.com/author/cwaltman

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this
request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of
the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the
request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if
not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I would
request your response within ten (10) business days.

Sincerely,

Curtis Waltman

Email

Mr. Curtis Waltman,

I am in receipt of your request for information pertaining to the deployment of
personnel to the North Dakota state of emergency in response to protests as
Standing Rock dated February 27, 2017.

Please be advised that your request is being denied for the following reason:
the request contains no reasonable limitation as to subject matter or length of
time represented by the record. Wis. Stats. §19.35(1)(h). A request for a record
without a reasonable limitation as to subject matter or length of time by the
record does not constitute a sufficient request. Id. If you would like to define
your request, we will reevaluate the same.

If you disagree with the County's decision in this matter, you may seek a Writ
of Mandamus pursuant to Wis. Stat. §19.37 or upon application to the attorney
general or district attorney.

Once we receive additional information on your request I can proceed. We will be
billing .25 cents @ page for records mailed however if I can generate the
records electronically, I will e-mail them with no charge.

Hello Sheriff Fath,
The date range would be October 6th 2016 to the date this request is processed.
As for subject matter, I have sent this same request to tens of law enforcement
agencies that also responded to North Dakota's EMAC, and no body has tried
telling me it is unduly burdensome as you have done. If you would like to
clarify for me how I can pair this down I would be happy to listen, but I
genuinely do not feel that my request was overly burdensome. I am asking for
several specific types of records: compilations of equipment, memos, official
government requests, and contractual documentation. I sincerely hope you will do
as tens of other both big and small agencies have done and furnish me with the
documents requested. Thank you.

Mr. Waltman,
I need to know what time reference you are referring to for the Vilas County
Sheriff’s Office. I never said this was unduly burdensome. A request for a
record without a reasonable limitation as to subject matter or length of time by
the record does not constitute a sufficient request.

Once we receive additional information on your request I can proceed. We will be
billing .25 cents @ page for records mailed however if I can generate the
records electronically, I will e-mail them with no charge.

Ah, thank you for that clarification, very much appreciated. If I could have a
date range of October 5th 2016 to February 24th 2017 that would be perfect.
Thank you for your work on my request! Have a great day.

Mr. Waltman, I have referred your request to Wisconsin Emergency Management and
I am waiting for their response.

In preparing the document I noticed that the EMAC agreement shows that all
information associated with WI-EMAC deployments is the property of the State of
Wisconsin and falls under the control of WEM.

As soon as I here from the State of Wisconsin WEM I will advise more.
