Dear Working Narratives via MuckRock News,
UC Davis is in receipt of your request for information and a search for records is underway within the appropriate UC Davis offices. This email is to formally acknowledge your request under the California Public Records Act (CPRA) received January 13, 2017. All responsive records will be identified, reviewed and released in accordance with relevant law and University policy.
Although the requested records have not yet been gathered and reviewed, it is likely, based on the information requested, we may contact you to clarify the request and or get additional information to ensure you are receiving the correct records. Please also note, the material may contain information exempt from disclosure pursuant to the Public Records Act. However, this is not a determination that the requested records are necessarily exempt from disclosure. This office will provide you with a status update and an anticipated date of release, once the requested records have been identified and thoroughly reviewed.
For your information, the California Public Records Act allows agencies to make records available “upon payment of fees covering direct costs of duplication.” (Calif. Govt. Code § 6253 (b)). Should your total request result in fewer than 25 pages, we will waive this fee and forward the records to you directly as requested. Should these records total 25 or more pages, we will contact you to confirm your continued interest in receiving the records and your agreement to pay the charges. Prepayment is required before release of public records, and can be accomplished by remitting a check made payable to University of California Regents (UC Regents).
Should you have any questions, or need additional information, please contact publicrecords@ucdavis.edu<mailto:publicrecords@ucdavis.edu> or call (530) 754-6295.
