1. All emails, text messages, letters, memoranda, or other written communications sent or received by Michael Munson (MTAA Board member, County appointee, email: mikem@centralnational.com or any other known address) that mention or relate to Tony Emerson (former Topeka City Councilmember, District 4) in the context of appointments, reappointments, nominations, or discussions regarding the Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority (MTAA) Board or any other public board/committee.
2. All emails, text messages, letters, memoranda, or other communications between or among:
• City of Topeka officials/staff (including the Mayor’s office, City Council members/staff, or City Clerk’s office), and

I prefer to receive the records electronically (in native format, such as .pst, .eml, or PDF) via email or a secure file-sharing link if the volume is large. If any fees are anticipated, please provide an estimate in advance.
