  4. When you receive your materials, please inspect them to make sure they are what you requested. If they are what you requested, no further action is required of either party. If you feel they are not what you requested or that something is missing, please contact the Freedom of Information Officer as soon as possible and we will work together to rectify the situation in a fair and prompt manner.
