Dear Requestor,

This PRA is duplicative of PRA 23-454 and PRA 23-456, except it is directed to Public Works. I have add Public Works to PRA 23-454 and I am going to close this PRA.

Good afternoon,

The City has received your three PRAs (23-454, 23-455, and 23-456). All three PRAs request the same documents. Two of the PRAs (23-454 and 23-456) request the same documents from the same departments. I am going to close PRA 23-456 as it is duplicative. I am going to add Public Works to PRA 23-454 and close PRA 23-455 as it is duplicative.

All three PRAs have sent messages to you via NextRequest regarding these PRAs being over broad and requesting guidance.

The Public Records Act and related Sunshine Ordinance provisions ("PRA") provide timeframes to determine whether a request seeks disclosable records. (Gov. Code, § 7922.535.)

The PRA contains no specific time limits for producing disclosable records. Instead, it requires agencies to provide an estimate of the date the records will be made available. (Ibid.) This is because the PRA recognizes that governmental operations should not come to halt in order for the public agency to respond to PRA requests, particularly requests for voluminous document sets. (See, e.g., Rogers v. Superior Court (1993) 19 Cal.App.4th 469, 483 [finding that request for production of records of 1990 convention in April and May of 1992 was timely].)

Due to the City's limited resources, the voluminous number for records responsive to the current PRA, and the current volume of PRA requests, at this time we anticipate that documents responsive to your request will be made available in approximately four (4) months or by February 1, 2024. If the documents become available before then, we will update you at that time.

Should you narrow your request, the time for production may be reduced.

Thank you, Lisa
