Communications

From: Phil Mocek

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to RCW Ch. 42.56 (Public Records Act), I hereby request the following records:

* Complaints received about Black Coffee Co-op, a worker’s cooperative, café, community space, and infoshop located at 501 East Pine Street in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, which opened for business in November, 2012. This should include but not be limited to those complaints described in an [interview by Justin Carder of CHS published May 21, 2013][1], in which Ronald J. "Ron" Wilson #4069 of Seattle Police Department is quoted as having said, "All I can share with you at this time is that over the past several weeks we have received several complaints about activity at Black Coffee. Some of the complaints deal with City and State code and/or regulation compliance issues, while some deal with public safety issues. We are sharing the complaints we receive with other city and state departments that may have responsibility/jurisdiction for non-police issues."
* Communications of complaints with "other city and state departments" including but not limited to the sharing described by Mr. Wilson
* All associated metadata

("Coffee co-op hopes balance of rules, responsibility will help it keep place on Hill")

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Phil Mocek

Dear Mr. Mocek,

The processing issue I mentioned my letter yesterday has been fixed.

In a bit, an email will follow with a link to an FTP download site. Follow the instructions and you will be able to retrieve the documents disclosed yesterday and an Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contains the metadata for those document along with hyperlinks. If you extract the documents from the compressed file and save them to your computer, the file structure will be recreated and you will be able to click on the hyperlinks to view the documents in conjunction with the metadata. NOTE: These are the exact same documents that you received yesterday but with the metadata laid out in the spreadsheet and hyperlinked for your convenience. If you have any difficulty, please do not hesitate to call me.

Please note that I am still going to double check to ensure that we have collected all the documents. I estimate that the next installment or status update will be on Tuesday, September 10, 2013.
