Re: California Public Records Act Request
CPRA#2023-058
Dear ,,
The City of Diamond Bar is in receipt of your 2023-058 request for the following public records pursuant to the California Public Records Act (“CPRA”) (Cal. Gov. Code section 6250 et
seq.):
“I am requesting access to records in possession or control of Diamond Bar for the purposes of inspection and copying pursuant to the California Public Records Act, California Government
Code § 6250 et seq. (“CPRA”), and Article I, § 3(b) of the California Constitution.
The specific records I seek to inspect and copy are listed below. As used herein, “Record” includes “Public Records” and “Writings” as those terms are defined at Government Code § 6252(e)
& (g).
I request:
Electronic copies (e.g. PDF or similar, however these documents might be maintained) of any current written retainer agreement(s) between your agency and the law firm of SILVER & WRIGHT,
headquartered in Irvine, California.
Additionally, we are requesting electronic copies of any invoices from this law firm dated between July 1, 2022 and the present.
If you contend that any portion of the records requested is exempt from disclosure by express provisions of law, Government Code § 6253(a) requires segregation and redaction of that
material in order that the remainder of the records may be released.
If you contend that any express provision of law exists to exempt from disclosure all or a portion of the records I have requested, Government Code § 6253(c) requires that you notify
me of the reasons for the determination not later than 10 days from your receipt of this request.
Government Code §§ 6253(d) & 6255(b) require that any response to this request that includes a determination that the request is denied, in whole or in part, must be in writing and include
the name and title of the person(s) responsible for the agency’s response.
Government Code § 6253(d) prohibits the use of the 10-day period, or any provisions of the CPRA or any other law, “to delay access for purposes of inspecting public records.”
In responding to this request, please keep in mind that Article 1, § 3(b)(2) of the California Constitution expressly requires you to broadly construe all provisions that further the
public’s right of access, and to apply any limitations on access as narrowly as possible.
Pursuant to Government Code § 6253.1, If I can provide any clarification that will help expedite your attention to my request, please contact me at pra@sunshinelaw.org.
I ask that you notify me of any duplication costs exceeding $10 before you duplicate the records so that I may decide which records I want copied. My preference is always, when possible,
an emailed copy of electronic records in whicheve”
The City has not identified records responsive to your request.
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.
