- Position-budget and Budget FTE records;
- Salary and OPE records;
- Labor-distribution records;

Please include records showing any continuation, reduction, removal, transfer, or reallocation of the salary, OPE, permanent budget, or other funding associated with B99790 following my layoff, including the date, amount, and destination of any funding that was transferred or reallocated.
Please also provide SOMD/OBF FY26 and FY27 budget records reflecting the savings attributed to the elimination of B99790 and the transition of SOMD/OBF functions to CBSO.
6. SOMD Budget Decision
Please provide any communications, reports, notes, messages, presentations, or other records concerning SOMD communicating its budget-reduction decisions to UO leadership, including the decisions SOMD made in response to the budget-reduction process it was directed to complete, how SOMD represented that those decisions satisfied its required budget reduction, and any review, response, approval, or acknowledgment by UO leadership.
For clarity, this request concerns SOMD’s budget decisions and its communications with UO leadership regarding those decisions. It is not a request for records concerning CBSO’s separate decisions regarding its ability or willingness to absorb SOMD functions.
This addendum supplements the records I previously requested concerning my August 11, 2025 Letter of Clarification, layoff, recall from layoff, personnel actions, requests for information, the selection and proposed elimination of B99790, SOMD/OBF budgeting, and the transition to CBSO.
My prior requests concerning the decision-making surrounding my layoff, the processing and coding of my personnel actions, Mark Schmelz's or his designee's involvement, and the alteration of the discipline status on my layoff record also remain outstanding.
If no additional responsive records exist for a particular category, please identify that category and state that no additional responsive records were located.
