So when the investigation as to the leaks occurs
there will be no listing of whom attended each closed
session.

Attendance records are not kept. The
closest that one can come to determine which Council members attended closed
session is to review the minutes.

The minutes generally show who attended regular
meetings, not who attended closed sessions

RE: Public Records Act Request Reference: Closed Session Attendance
Dear Mr. Kassakhian:
Pursuant to my rights under the California
Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et seq.) and the California
Constitution, as amended by passage of Prop 59 on
Provide attendance for City Council
(Redevelopment Agency and Housing Authority) closed sessions involving 1) Flint
Cyn Acquisition; 2) Armenian Society of Los Angeles
negotiations; 4) GFFA and related GMA negotiations for contract beginning
7-1-2006; 4) Flower Street ‘Punch Through’; 5) Right of way acquisition for
Flower Street I5 ramp.
I ask for a determination on this request within
10 days of your receipt of it, and an even earlier reply if you can make that
determination without having to review the record(s) in question.
If you determine that any or all or the
information is exempt from disclosure, I ask that you reconsider that
determination in view of Prop 59, which has amended the state Constitution to
require that all exemptions be "narrowly construed." Prop 59 may
modify or overturn authorities on which you have relied in the past.
If you nonetheless determine that the requested
records are subject to a still-valid exemption, I would further request that:
(1) you exercise your discretion to disclose some or all of the records
notwithstanding the exemption; and (2) that, with respect to records containing
both exempt and non-exempt content, you redact the
exempt content and disclose the rest.
You must provide assistance by helping to
identify records and information relevant to the request and suggesting ways to
overcome any practical basis for denying access.
Finally, should you deny part or this entire request, you are required to provide a written response
describing the legal authority or authorities on which you rely. Please also
address the question whether Prop 59 requires disclosure even though
authorities predating Prop 59 may appear to support your exemption claim.
Records concerning litigation are exempt only
until the claim is resolved or settled. Upon disposition all records including
court records and those pre-dating the suit are public.
If I can provide any clarification that will
help expedite your attention to this request, please contact me at the number
above. I ask that you notify me of any duplication costs so that I may
decide which records I want copied.
I am sending a copy of this letter to your legal
advisor to help encourage a speedy determination, and I would likewise be happy
to discuss my request with him or his designee at any time.
Thank you for your time and attention to this
matter.
Sincerely,
Barry Allen
