HomeMy WebLinkAboutHMMP UpdateDraŌs of the HMMP; and communicaƟons regarding draŌs of the HMMP are exempt from disclosure pursuant to Government Code SecƟon 7927.500 and the DeliberaƟve Process Privilege. The City is in the process of developing and deliberaƟng the final version of the HMMP. DraŌs are not normally kept in the regular course of business. In addiƟon, disclosure of the draŌs and discussions pertaining to the draŌs will inhibit the City's ability to have a candid internal discussion to test staff and consultants' ideas and debate the merits of those ideas, which should be uninhibited by the danger that the tentaƟve but rejected thoughts will become subjects of public discussion. The City's decisions should be judged on the final policy decisions and not the thoughts and ideas leading to those final decisions. See, Times Mirror Company v. Superior Court, (1991) 53 Cal.3d 1325.
