To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Copies of all reports, lists, databases, or individual documents created since Jan. 1, 2016 that detail lawsuits brought against the city's police department and the outcome of lawsuits brought against the city's police department which includes the financial settlement. This should include any documentation mechanism your department uses to track lawsuits. It should also include any documents that your department submits to local, state, or federal agencies listing the number and/or status of lawsuits brought against the police department.
This request should be construed to include documents compiled quarterly, annually, or in other increments as well as documents or databases that contain responsive information over a longer time span.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, 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,
Samuel Sinyangwe

Good afternoon,
The City Clerk's Office received your Public Records Request on October 18, 2018. We sent an extension letter on October 25, 2018 (attached). The following information is in response:
Due to the size and volume of the requested information in your Public Records Request, the requested documents are being transmitted to you via One Drive Link below.
Please be advised that the City has redacted from the responsive records the social security numbers, which are confidential under Government Code. Disclosure of this information would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and is exempt from disclosure under Government Code section 6254, subdivision (c). Because the City will not provide the exempt information described above, the Public Records Act requires the City to provide a written response when a records request is denied, either in whole or in part. (Gov. Code § 6255, subd. (b).) The Public Records Act also requires that notification of denial of any request for records must include the names and titles or positions of each person responsible for the denial. (Gov. Code § 6253, subd. (d).) With the name and title of the undersigned, this fulfills both of the aforementioned legal requirements.
Should you have any questions pertaining to this email, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.
