RE: Public Records Act Request Reference 91807$100K Club
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
Pursuant to
the California Supreme Court upholding the Alameda Superior Court on the issue
of privacy, we request documents indicating the names, job titles and gross
payroll over $100,000 for employees in the 2001 calendar year.
Definitions:
1. The term
"Person" and/or "Persons" as used herein means a
"member of the public", "State Agency", and "Public
agency" as those terms are defined in State of California Statutes and
Administrative Codes, Government Code §6250, et. seq., and related sections
respectively, and of its respective predecessors, successors, shareholders,
officers, directors employees, agents, representatives, assigns or person
action or purporting to on his/her behalf and attorneys.
2 The term
"documents" and/or "document" as used herein means all
"writings", "originals", and "duplicates" as
those terms are defined in Government Code Section §6252, respectively. Every
kind, source, authorship, both originals and/or non-identical copies thereof,
in City of Glendale possession, custody or control, or known by the City of
Glendale to exist, irrespective of whether the document is one intended for or
transmitted internally by the City of Glendale, or intended for or transmitted
to any other person or entity, including, without limiting any government agency,
department, administrative entity, personnel, or employee. The foregoing, these
terms include any and all typed, duplicated, handwritten or combination
thereof, authored or used, handwritings, typewritten, printed, photo stated,
photographed, or any means of recording upon any form, printed, pictorial,
magnetic or paper tapes, photographic films or prints, magnetic or punched
cards, discs, drums, or graphic matter, however, produced or reproduced, of
every kind or description or communication, preserved and communicated in some
manner-verbal or nonverbal, qualitative or quantitative information, mediated
by any technology, including but not limited to: records, letters,
correspondence, telegrams, telexes, accounting, notes of any type, minutes of
any meeting memoranda, intra-office and inter-office communications, reports,
written analyses, contracts, modifications, of such contracts, licenses,
agreements, schedules, work papers, summaries, interviews, telephone
conversations, affidavits, printed matter (including published books, articles,
speeches, and newspaper clippings, press releases, charts, drawings,
specifications, parts lists, evaluations, advice, recommendations,
commentaries, conclusions, studies, testing, data, reports and results, ledgers,
books of account, vouchers, bank checks, invoices, charge slips, receipts,
digest, analysis, communications, broadcasts, working papers, statistical
records, cost sheets, stenographer's notebooks, transcriptions, desk calendars,
appointment books, diaries, time sheets or logs telephone logs, maps,
illustrations, diagrams, photographs, tape recordings, movies, films,
transcriptions, videotapes, electronic or magnetic recordings, computer data,
including but not limited to punch cards, magnetic tapes and printouts, job and
transaction files, books, notes or recordings of any conversations, or anything
similar to any of the foregoing, however denominated, as well as all copies,
duplicates, and drafts of the foregoing and including any electronic
communication(s).
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
