• Agreements: any and all contracts and agreements, including amendments and exhibitions, related to Axon, its services, and its products. Please note that this includes all agreements, memorandums of understanding, and written or verbal agreements between this agency and the company, regardless of whether or not any financial compensation or stipulations were/are involved. This also includes any nondisclosure agreements.

• Bidding: Requests for Proposal (or similar calls for bids), licensing agreements, documentation of selection, sole source or limited source justification and approval documentation, and other memoranda and documentation

• Financial: purchase orders, invoices, or any other financial records related to this agency's use of any Axon product or service.

If you have any questions about this request, please feel free to contact me at this email address or by phone at 617-299-1832.

If your office believes another agency in this jurisdiction may also have information responsive to this request, provision of that knowledge would be appreciated.

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,

Beryl Lipton

Dear Ms. Lipton,

The records you requested are in the process of being gathered and reviewed to segregate exempt from non-exempt information prior to production. We anticipate that the non-exempt records will be available no later than 5:30 p.m. on March 18, 2019. Records or portions thereof may be exempt pursuant to Government Code section 6254(f)(law enforcement investigative records) and Government Code section 6254.7(d)(trade secrets). We will let you know as soon as records are available and if any other exemptions apply to withheld or redacted information.

Beryl,

This email is to inform you that we are completing the review of the requested records and anticipate completion by Thursday, March 28, 2019.

Thank you,

From:

Dear Ms. Lipton:

I tried to contact you at the telephone number you provided in your request, but the outgoing message did not sound like it was the right number, so I did not leave a message. The records responsive to your request have been gathered. However, Axon has objected to the disclosure of its pricing information as confidential and competition sensitive. The City can provide you with the total cost of the current contract, as well as records relating to prior contracts. The current contract will also be provided to you, minus the pricing info, as well as the other responsive records. Please let me know if this will satisfy your request. If I do not hear back from you, I will assume that the production of records as outlined above satisfies your request.

Ms. Lipton:

Please click on the link below for the response to your records request. In addition, we have a folder of numerous files relating to Taser Training Academy Instructor Certification Lesson Plan 20 that we are unclear as to whether you want those documents included. Please confirm.
