consent for full and complete disclosure. I reiterate and emphasize that the intent of this authorization is to provide full and free
access to the background and history of my personal life, for the specific purpose of pursuing a background investigation that
may provide pertinent data for the City of Fallon to consider in determining my suitability for employment. It is my specific intent to
provide access to personnel information, however personal or confidential it may appear to be.

background and reputation, my military service records, educational records, my financial status, my criminal history record,
including any arrest records, any information contained in investigatory files, efficiency ratings, complaints or grievances filed by

records of organization, including its officers, employees, or related personnel both individually and collectively, from any and all
liability for damages of whatever kind, which may at any time result to me, my heirs, family, or associates because of compliance
with this authorization and request to release information, or any attempt to comply with it. I direct you to release such
information upon request of the duly accredited representative of the City of Fallon regardless of any agreement I may have
made with you previously to the contrary. The organization requesting the information pursuant to this release will discontinue
