To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California's Sunshine Amendment (Cal. Const. Art. I, § 3(b)), I hereby request the following records:
-The current memorandum of agreement (MOA) or memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Defense Logistics Agency, Disposition Services regarding the 1033 equipment surplus program administered by the DLA Law Enforcement Support Office
-The annual inventory form required to be completed by the state coordinator of the 1033 program
According to the DLA FAQ page regarding the 1033 program, Cal OES is the agency in charge of coordinating the 1033 program for the state. See http://www.dispositionservices.dla.mil/leso/Pages/StateCoordinatorList.aspx
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 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Shawn Musgrave

Checking in on this again -- per your obligations under the California Public Records Act, please let me know if I need to submit this CPRA request to another agency or office. A number of other states have already released their inventory spreadsheets and MOAs.

Ms. Macrae -
I submitted the CPRA request below for the 1033 inventory sheet and MOA to the cc'd individuals on Monday, but have not yet received any acknowledgement or response. Please confirm whether you are the correct individual to process this request.
For reference, I've attached a spreadsheet released by the Ohio state coordinator of the 1033 program -- this request seeks the same spreadsheet as maintained by Cal EMA.
Best,
Shawn
From: Shawn Musgrave
Ms. Macrae and Mr. Pal:
Apologies for the confusion, but it's unclear to me which of the two of you I ought to submit this CPRA request to for Cal OES records regarding the 1033 program. Please advise.

Dear Mr. Musgrave,
We are in receipt of your Public Records Act request for information concerning the 1033 program. As you can imagine, we have received many of these requests over the past several days. We are currently in the process of gathering all of the information in our possession that would be responsive to each of these requests. It is the goal of the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services to operate transparently and to provide to the public as much information as the law permits us to provide. It is our intention to release to the public all disclosable information via our website as quickly as possible. However, given the volume of requests and the amount of information that must be reviewed, we need to invoke the 14 day extension as permitted under the Public Records Act. Please understand that we hope to have the information posted well before the new response date of Monday, September 8, 2014. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Checking to confirm the estimated completion date for this request. Again, more than 25 states now have released their MOA and inventory spreadsheets without any redaction or delay.

Dear Mr. Musgrave,
This email is being sent in response to your Public Records Act request for information pertaining to the 1033 program. In an effort to be as transparent as possible, Cal OES has posted several documents on our website at http://bit.ly/Cal1033. Please note that this a snapshot of the inventory from the Law Enforcement Support Office, a federal agency, and it is not maintained or updated by Cal OES.
Also, all non-tactical equipment, as determined by the Federal Department of Defense, automatically drops off of this inventory after a year. Therefore, non-tactical items acquired more than a year ago will not be reflected on this inventory. We are unable to provide historical or archived information for these items. Lastly, please also note that certain fields were redacted from this spreadsheet, as indicated on the website.
In many instances, the information we have posted far exceeds the scope of the request. Having produced this information, we will now consider your Public Records Act request to be closed. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Alex J. Pal

From: Shawn Musgrave
Mr. Pal -
Thank you for sending the link and for posting these documents publicly. I would note that more than 26 states have posted the full state property book without redaction -- the redaction of NSN, in particular, is unusual. Please confirm whether I will need to appeal to obtain this field as well as any remaining fields.

Please confirm whether a copy of the unredacted database exists within CalOES possession. If so, it is covered under CPRA.
Respectfully,

Mr. Musgrave,
With the exception of your request, the other PRA requests that we received were for lists of equipment in the possession of local law enforcement agencies. For convenience, we created and posted a document for journalists and interested citizens containing the information being sought. However, in response to your particular request, please find attached a full unredacted spreadsheet.
