From the Colorado Springs Independent:  Ask five agencies how they retrieve email in response to Colorado Open Records Act requests and you’ll probably get five different answers.

City of Pueblo:

Pueblo’s IT director Lori Pinz says via email that CORAs seeking emails are handled by IT workers, who retrieve them directly from the server “so that we ensure the integrity of the items pulled.”

“That way,” she adds, “everything is attestable in court that the emails are original and have not been altered.” After retrieval, the City Attorney’s Office reviews them to assure there’s no protected information before they’re released, she says.
