Under the Public Records Act, requests for “voluminous” amounts of documents are one of the conditions that create “unusual circumstances.” Under such circumstances, the City may take an extension of the standard 10-day time period provided under the Public Records Act for making its determination on a request for records. Regarding your request, the City is taking this time extension pursuant to Government Code Section 6253, subdivision (c), which states in part:
“...In unusual circumstances, the time limit prescribed in this section may be extended by written notice by the head of the agency or his or her designee to the person making the request setting forth the reasons for the extension and the date on which a determination is expected to be dispatched. No notice shall specify a date that would result in an extension for more than 14 days. When the agency dispatches the determination, and if the agency determines that the request seeks disclosable public records, the agency shall state the estimated date and time when the records will be made available. As used in this section, ‘unusual circumstances’ means, but only to the extent reasonably necessary to the proper processing of the particular request: … (2) The need to search for, collect, and appropriately examine a voluminous amount of separate and distinct records that are demanded in a single request.”
In accordance with the above quoted section of the Public Records Act, please be advised that this letter serves as written notice that the City of Carlsbad requires an extension of the standard 10-day time period for providing its determination your records request. City staff will notify you in writing with a determination on your request no later than August 16, 2019.
Please be assured that City staff members are making every effort to respond effectively to your request.
