Re: Public Records Request: 2017 Profile and Economic Impact Report
Dear Mr. Sternberg:

I am writing on behalf of UNO in response to a public records request regarding a research project
conducted by Dr. John Alan Williams. Dr. Williams, as principal, maintains any records related to this
project and has reviewed the request and his files to assist in our response. Attached is a letter from Dr.
Williams attesting to his search and production of documents responsive to vourJulv 23 email. Some of
these were previously provided. Additional documents are attached here.
In reference to the UNO report of short-term rentals ?2017 Profile and Economic Impact Report?:

1. There are no drafts or notes. Solelv produced was the final report which, in discussion with your

office, you stated did not need to be reproduced.

2. There is solelv the final report. There are no notes.

3. The agreement and the invoice are attached.

4. Emails responsive to a public record request were produced.

5. All correspondence responsive to a public record request have been produced.

6. All documentation, correspondence, telephonic, electronic, or in-person meetings, and notes
responsive to a public record request have been produced.

The CV's of the two faculty researchers responsible are attached.

The University faculty?s research methodology was created at UNO and consists of intellectual
property outside of public record production.

As previously indicated, raw data was extracted from other public reports and websites but was
not and is not maintained as ?raw data? and is not available from UNO in raw data form but may
be available from those sites that produce the information as raw data.

The process and methodology created by the faculty at UNO is scientific intellectual property
developed, and owned, by the University for the purposes of doing this research and producing
resulting reports.

Again, as responded previously, the raw data from the public reports was pulled down and
inserted into the methodology created by the faculty at UNO, no raw data exists nor any listing
of raw data at the University. The entities with those reports would own the raw data on the
various year and months in question.

Sincerely,
