The following records are being requested from the Iowa Public Information Board in accordance with Iowa Code Chapter 22.

All billing statements, license agreements, and other supporting documentation the Iowa Public Information Board has regarding its use of software or services provided by Salesforce Inc.

“Salesforce, Inc. is an American cloud-based software company headquartered in San Francisco, California. It provides customer relationship management (CRM) software and applications focused on sales, customer service, marketing automation, e-commerce, analytics, and application development.”

The Iowa Attorney General’s Office advises that most requests for records are routine and should be handled immediately. Chapter 22.8(4) allows for a “good-faith, reasonable delay” under certain circumstances, including determining whether the records are confidential and not available to the public. The official having custody of the records being sought is allowed up to 20 calendar days to determine whether the documents should be released, but such delays should not ordinarily exceed 10 business days.

The Iowa Supreme Court ruled in a 2013 case (Horsfield Materials Inc. v. City of Dyersville) that a government agency can have additional time to comply with a public records request when “the size or nature of the request makes prompt access infeasible.”

If there is a copying fee, please inform me in advance if it is more than $0. Iowa Code Chapter 22.3 states that the fee shall not exceed the actual cost of providing the service.

The Form of the Iowa Court

A licensee’s licensed actions and conduct provide evidence for the form of the licensor.

“Bricks made with testimony lacking evidence are equivalent to bricks made with straw without clay.”

“Lies and misrepresentations pay for the Iowa Legislature’s bills in Erika’s mErika.” 

“The evidence supporting Nichol’s Sin produces the question of how many innocent are locked up in the State pen. If the evidence indicates an Iowa County Attorney has zero honor, issue them a pair of pajamas and put them to work at the State’s license plate spawner.”
