				staff employees include secretaries and administrative assistants.
(c) "Electronic public record" is a public
				record that is primarily or solely stored in an electronic format. Typically,
				the custodian will only be able to produce a copy of the original electronic
				public record due to the native format, security, and integrity of the original
				data or electronic record.
(d)
				"Information technology staff" are employees who perform duties relating to
				retrieving, compiling, constructing, formatting, or extracting electronic
				public records located on computer systems, software, servers, or networks.
