RE: Public Records Act Request Reference: _102007 Union Space
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
Documents
indicating lease, rental and/or other arrangements for the use of City property
(any City agency or rental property used by the
City) for City Employee Associations such as GMA, GFFA, GPOA, GCEA and the
Employees Federal Credit Union
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,

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 Allen
