SUMMARY
On March 23, 2026, Linda G. Warren, whose own letter calls her the City of Brookhaven’s ADA and Title VI Coordinator, denied me an accommodation on records fees. Her letter stated: “a disabled person must do the same.” On March 2, the City had priced one of my Open Records Act requests at $49,385.
The first requests
Starting January 23, 2026, City Attorney Jeremy T. Berry asked three times who my lawyer was. That same day, City Manager Christian Sigman wrote: “Due to the stated potential litigation, I will refrain from a formal response or any meetings in the near-term.” I turned to the Open Records Act.
The ADA route
On February 24, 2026, Sigman wrote: “Lillian Young is no longer with the City of Brookhaven as HR Director.” On February 26, he wrote: “Please direct ADA grievances to Linda Warren.” On March 10, 2026, 14 days after Sigman’s February 24 email, the City’s archived Title II page still named Young as its ADA Coordinator. That was the last archived capture. She left the City on December 5, 2025.
The records route
On March 2, 2026, the City priced one of my Open Records Act requests at $49,385. As of March 5, its 31 fee demands to me totaled $58,603.85. On March 6 and March 9, it closed 36 of my requests, 20 of them in 5 minutes and 38 seconds.
The March 23 letter
Warren’s letter stated: “because others making an ORA request must pay a statutory portion of the expense, a disabled person must do the same.”
