RE: Public Records Request Reference Number: C005220-090419
Thank you for submitting your request for public records.  After reviewing your request, we have determined that additional or more detailed information is needed to appropriately search for records.  As currently worded, the amount and/or scope of information that you are requesting is unreasonable for the City to produce, given that the City of Long Beach currently has over 600 active and/or pending cannabis businesses at various stages of review.  Please narrow the scope of the information that you are requesting.
While the Public Records Act (PRA) provides members of the public with access to public records, it is not unlimited in its scope.  California courts have acknowledged that members of the public may request documents from municipalities pursuant to the PRA even if they are unable to precisely identify the documents sought, but the request must still reasonably describe the information contained in the records sought such that the municipality can locate the records with “reasonable effort”.  [Cal. First Amend. Coalition v. Superior Court (1998) 67 Cal.App.4th 159.]
The request must be focused and specific [Rogers v. Superior Court (1993) 19 Cal.App.4th 469.] and clear enough so that the agency can decipher what record or records are being sought.  Moreover, the City is not required by law to create a record or list from an existing record.
The City will wait for your response before proceeding with this request.  If we do not hear back from you within 10 calendar days, the PRA request will be closed.
Thank you for contacting the City of Long Beach.  If you have any questions, please contact the Records Coordinator Office at (562) 570-6711.
