Re: California Public Records Act Request
CPRA#2023-045
Dear Lempres, Daniel,
The City of Diamond Bar is in receipt of your 2023-045 request for the following public records pursuant to the California Public Records Act (“CPRA”) (Cal. Gov. Code section 6250 et
seq.):
“Greetings,
This is Daniel Lempres and Jason Fagone, reporters for the San Francisco Chronicle. Pursuant to our rights under the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et seq.),
we request the following records related to litigation or the threat thereof under the California Voting Right Act.
Specifically, this request seeks:
• Any and all research reports, city council reports, demographic studies or analyses, meeting minutes or agendas, email communications, and court filings related to litigation or the
threat thereof under the California Voting Rights Act.
• Any and all records showing expenditures related to litigation or the threat thereof under the California Voting Right Act. This includes any receipts, invoices, requests for attorney’s
fees, and agreements with demographers.
This request reasonably describes identifiable public records or information produced therefrom, and we believe that there exists no express provision of law exempting such records from
disclosure. Accordingly, pursuant to Government Code section 6253(b), we ask that you make the records “promptly available for inspection.”
I would be willing to adjust the parameters of this request in order to aid in its fulfillment, and so as not to unduly burden your office. In that spirit, I would also like to request
a conversation with a subject matter expert who can help me better understand how relevant records are distributed and stored. I believe such a conversation is required by the California
Public Records Act, section 6253.1(a) of which states that agencies “shall” assist members of the public “make a focused and effective request that reasonably describes an identifiable
record or records, shall do all of the following, to the extent reasonable under the circumstances: (1) Assist the member of the public to identify records and information that are
responsive to the request or to the purpose of the request, if stated. (2) Describe the information technology and physical location in which the records exist. (3) Provide suggestions
for overcoming any practical basis for denying access to the records or information sought.”
If there are any fees for searching or copying these records, please inform us if the cost will exceed $50. However, we would also like to request a waiver of all fees in that the disclosure
of the requested information is in the public interest.
The California Public Records Act requires a response wit”
The City has identified records responsive to your request. The records that have been identified and are responsive are being sent to you electronically.

I have been informed by staff that they believe that they have fully responded to your request; however, if you need additional information I will assist you in your efforts pursuant
to Government Code section 6253.1.
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me at (909) 839-7010.
Sincerely,
<http://www.diamondbarca.gov/>
