This is an Immediate Disclosure Request under the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance, made before close of business May 8, 2019.

** Note that all of your responses (including disclosed records) may be automatically and instantly available to the public on the MuckRock.com service used to issue this request (though I am not a MuckRock representative). **

We request under the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance (Ordinance) and the California Public Records Act (CPRA):

"1. an electronic copy, in the original electronic format, with all calendar item headers, email addresses, metadata, timestamps, attachments, appendices, exhibits, and inline images, except those explicitly exempted by the Ordinance, of the Mayor's calendar, with all items, from April 28 to May 4, 2019 (inclusive)."

We remind you of your obligations to provide electronic records in the original format you hold them in. Therefore, calendars exported in the .ics, iCalendar, or vCard formats with all non-exempt headers, metadata, attachments, etc. are best. Such formats are easily exportable from Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange or other common calendaring/email systems.

However, if you choose to convert calendar items, for example, to PDF or printed format, to easily redact them, you must ensure that you have preserved the full content of the original calendar item record (as specified in request "1"), which contains many detailed headers beyond the ones generally printed out. If you instead provide PDFs or printed items with only a few of the headers or lacking attachments/images, and therefore withhold the other headers/attachments without justification, you may be in violation of SF Admin Code 67.26, 67.27, Govt Code 6253(a), 6253.9, and/or 6255, and we may challenge your decision.

Please provide only those copies of records available without any fees. If you determine certain records would require fees, please instead provide the required notice of which of those records are available and non-exempt for inspection in-person if we so choose.

I look forward to your immediate disclosure.

Sincerely,
Anonymous

We remind you of your obligation under City of San Jose v Superior Court (2017) to search personal accounts/devices for calendar items regarding the public's business, as appropriate.

Re: Public Records Request received May 8, 2019

To whom it may concern:

This responds to your Immediate Disclosure Request below.

Response Dated April 24, 2019

Thank you for your inquiry. Please see attached the requested information.

This information has been provided in a PDF format for its ease of transferability and accessibility, consistent with Cal. Gov. Code 6253.9(a)(1). Moreover, pursuant to Cal. Gov. Code 6253.9 (f), an agency is not required to provide an electronic record in an electronic format that would jeopardize or compromise the security or integrity of the original record. The PDF format ensures the security and integrity of the original record.

Please also note that we are responding on behalf of the Mayor's Office only, and not on behalf of other city departments.

If you have any questions about your request or would like to submit another public records request, please feel free to contact us at mayorsunshinerequests@sfgov.org<mailto:mayorsunshinerequests@sfgov.org>.

We do not believe your arguments re: the acceptability of PDF format are valid and intend to contest them at the Sunshine Task Force. First, 6253.9(f) protects the integrity and security of the *original* record, not the copy of the record you provide to the public. Regardless, PDFs which are not digitally signed can be quite easily edited by anyone, no differently than editing say the .ics calendar file you could have provided to us. Second, 6253.9(a)(1) plainly requires provision of the in "any electronic format in which it holds the information" and we asked for the original format. Our understanding of computer systems indicates that format is not PDF.

In the mean time, I will point out that the original electronic format of the Mayor's calendar may contain substantial additional information (such as email addresses, conference call numbers, actual names of attendees instead of group descriptions, the acceptance/rejection of individual attendees to the invite, etc.) than that which was printed out for us. In addition to, and separately from, not being in the original format, by converting to PDF, you may have withheld such portions of the record from us, without pointing out to us that the portions were in fact withheld nor providing statutory justification for exemption (required by CPRA and the Sunshine Ordinance) nor providing the name and title of the official responsible for such withholding. Please provide all such information, if any information was withheld in the PDF you released to us, as compared to the original format.

Mr. Heckel,

**Note this is a public mailbox, and that all of your responses (including disclosed records) may be automatically and instantly available to the public on the MuckRock.com service used to issue this request (though I am not a MuckRock representative).**

As I have noted in the past, the instant 19047 Task Force case raises similar (but not identical) issues to my case 19044 against the City Attorney's office. I was recently notified the by John Coté that the City Attorney's office will be working with their IT staff to further determine which metadata can be disclosed safely.

As your office I assume is advised by the the City Attorney's office on your metadata disclosure requirements as well, I hope your office and the City Attorney's office work with each other and the city's IT experts to come up with a reasonable set of specific metadata that must be withheld for security (and any other lawful exemption reasons), so the City has a consistent policy on such disclosure. I have sent Mr. Coté a similar email already.

I intend to continue to pursue both Task Force cases to ensure that, even if the respondents in both these cases eventually provide all non-exempt metadata, that the Task Force make a determination that the /prior/ responses of the agencies withholding metadata /in general/ were violations of the Sunshine Ordinance, in order to vindicate the right of the public to receive copies of non-exempt public records metadata when they ask for it.

Furthermore, and independently, I intend to pursue the argument that your office may not withhold (regardless of any metadata issues) calendar information merely because it is not on the Prop G list of minimum items the office must keep a record of.

Sincerely,

Anonymous

Dear Anonymous:

I just received a phone call from Hank Heckel of the Mayor's office who notified me that he will be out of the office on July 3 and therefore unavailable for the Compliance and Amendments Committee hearing on that date. Mr. Heckel also stated that there is no other person most knowledgeable available to attend this hearing from the Mayor's office. This request refers to file no. 19047 (complaint description below). By way of this email, I am also notifying the Chair of that Committee of the Respondent's request. Please acknowledge receipt of this message. Thank you.

Do you have an update on this petition (the Mayor's calendar, SOTF 19047)?

I would remind you of SF Admin Code 67.21(d) "...The supervisor of records shall inform the petitioner, as soon as possible and within 10 days, of its determination whether the record requested, or any part of the record requested, is public. ..."

Thank you. I would like to remind you that 19047 has two mostly separate parts:
1) the fact that we should receive original electronic formats and headers/metadata of the Mayor's calendar (with the IT aspect as you mentioned),
2) and also that *all* calendar records the Mayor's Office possesses that discuss the public's business are public records, not just merely those that cover the Prop G requirements of what calendar items must minimally be kept by the Mayor.

Withholding of records under #2 was an issue raised by the Mayor's Office in their response to the SOTF: https://cdn.muckrock.com/foia_files/2019/05/21/5.21.19_Response_to_SOTF_Complaint_File_19047_Re_Request_of_Anonymous.pdf

I have argued why #2 are public records in my SOTF rebuttal: https://cdn.muckrock.com/outbound_request_attachments/Anonymous_2859385/72902/SF-Mayor-Calendar-Appeal-SOTF-19047-followup.pdf

Please review those additional issues. (I first informed the Supervisor of Records of these documents on June 4th.)

Supervisor of Records,

Re: My May 21 supervisor of records petition

On July 1, Deputy City Attorney Russi said your office would finish responding to my petition "next week."
SF Admin Code 67.21(d) states "...The supervisor of records shall inform the petitioner, as soon as possible and within 10 days, of its determination whether the record requested, or any part of the record requested, is public. ..."

All deadlines have long expired. Please provide a reply to my petition immediately. (Note I have 2 separate petitions outstanding - May 8 and May 21 - this email address handles the May 21st issue).

Thank you for considering my case 19047 last night and moving it to the full SOTF.

When this case is agendized for the SOTF, please note:
Your current caption for the 19047 case states an allegation re: 67.25 and 67.29-5, but I actually alleged that Respondent violated all of Admin Code 67.21, 67.26, 67.27 and Govt Code 6253, 6253.9, and 6255 (incorporated via Admin Code 67.21(k)). (67.29-5 appears to be Respondent’s "defense," it is not my allegation. There was no 67.25 timeliness allegation either.)

From: Office of the Mayor of San Francisco

Dear Anonymous:

It is the process of the Sunshine Task Force to have complaints heard at the Committee level first to determine if the records are public, there is jurisdiction and whether or not to forward to the SOTF for review and to make a ruling on the matter. The complaint below seems to be your commentary of what took place during the hearing last night. Can you please confirm if this is true? Thank you.

No, this specific issue was not discussed at Aug. 20 meeting. I believe you may be referring to: At last night's meeting, I pointed out that the Supervisor of Records has refused to provide a timely (10-day) opinion in *19044*, where he is already the respondent in the case as the City Attorney. Therefore, during questioning by the Committee, I asked the SOTF to find (in addition to other violations) a timeliness violation in 19044 on that basis.

The complaint here is against the Supervisor of Records' (in)actions in *19047* as violating the timeliness requirement of 67.21(d). Since only the Mayor, and not the Sup. of Records, is the respondent in 19047, I did not make those allegations against the Sup. of Records last night as it does not seem fair to do so without giving notice that they would need to appear for 19047. I know of no way to compel an opinion except filing a new complaint each time the Sup. of Records fails to perform their duties under 67.21(d). If I don't make the specific allegation, I don't know if the SOTF would have the authority to make any orders re: each failure.

I understand the SOTF may want to combine this new complaint with 19047 under its procedures, however I'll point out that the respondents, types of allegations, and the legal question to be resolved would be different (ex. "Are native electronic formats, metadata/headers, and non-Prop G calendars exempt from Sunshine Ordinance?" VS "Can the Sup. of Records fail to provide an opinion within 10 days of a petition?").

If your procedure/bylaws allows you to skip the committee intake process at your discretion, I respectfully request that this complaint be considered for such process. I'm not sure what additional fact-finding can be done in this case.

Sincerely,
Anonymous

Complaint against which Department or Commission
Supervisor of Records (aka City Attorney)

Name of individual contacted at Department or Commission
Dennis Herrera (City Attorney), Bradley Russi (Deputy City Attorney)

Alleged Violation
Public Records

Sunshine Ordinance Section:
67.21(d)

Please describe alleged violation:
If the Task Force has any mechanism to take up this complaint as the SOTF en banc, instead of first via a committee, to avoid months of waiting, I would like to take that path. The Supervisor of Records' violation of the Sunshine Ordinance is especially dangerous to San Francisco's public records regime, since it is he who is responsible (among others) for enforcing the public's access to records.

SF Admin Code 67.21(d) states "...The supervisor of records shall inform the petitioner, as soon as possible and within 10 days, of its determination whether the record requested, or any part of the record requested, is public. ..."

There are no extensions or exceptions to this 10 day deadline.

I petitioned the Supervisor of Records on May 15th for a determination re: the records at issue in SOTF 19047, Anonymous vs. Mayor (re: electronic calendar records). The deadline was therefore May 25, no later, for a legal opinion from the Supervisor of Records.

On May 21st, Deputy City Attorney Russi said " I hope to have a response to you no later than the end of next week."
On June 7th, Russi said "We are still working through the issues raised by your petition and appreciate your patience."
On July 1st, Russi said they "...won't be able to respond to your petitions until next week. "
On July 24th, Russi said "We are continuing to look into the questions you have raised and hope to be able to provide a response soon."

This is a clear violation of 67.21(d).

[[ Please note the Supervisor of Records has similarly delayed a response to a petition re: SOTF 19044, but since the respondent in 19044 is the City Attorney himself (who is in fact the Supervisor of Records), that allegation is being handled in 19044 itself. ]]

SOTF,

RE: Case 19089, Anonymous v Supervisor of Records (City Attorney)

We have now received a response (a denial, attached) from the Supervisor of Records; please add it to your 19089 File.
The attached response bears a date of August 26, 2019, and the attached petition bears a date of May 15, 2019.
Since Aug 26 is clearly more than 10 days after May 15, a violation by respondent of SFAC 67.21(d) is clear, which is the sole issue in the case.

If permitted by your bylaws or procedures and acceptable to Respondent, I am happy to waive a public hearing with oral argument in the interest of reducing the cost to both the City and myself, and instead submit case 19089 for your Task Force's consideration on the basis of my written complaint, the attached evidence, and any response by the Respondent, with the requested relief being a finding that the Supervisor of Records violated SFAC 67.21(d) and an associated Order of Determination.

Good evening Supervisor of Records,

On August 27, from this email address, I made a petition re: the Office of Mayor's refusal provision solely of the designated "Prop G" calendar (after you denied my petition on August 26 for the metadata/native formats for that same request) -- re: SOTF 19047. Among other issues, I alleged that the Mayor has other calendar records, and all those records are public unless explicitly exempt by the Sunshine Ordinance or permitted exemptions of the CPRA.

Attached is evidence supporting my position that at least one other non-"Prop G" calendar for the Mayor exists - this is a public record disclosed by the Mayor in a different request. Please note how the Prop G calendar has a footer of "PropG, Mayor (MYR)", while this attached record has a footer of "Calendar, Mayor (MYR)" and contains substantially more information. What other records of the Mayor's calendar exist I do not knoow.

(Please note, I do not accept that the attached disclosed record is in fact a sufficient disclosure, but that is a matter for a separate petition for that request.)

My August 27 petition: https://cdn.muckrock.com/outbound_request_attachments/Anonymous_2859385/72902/SFSupervisorAppealForMayor-20190827.pdf

Please note how the Prop G calendar previously disclosed in this case has a footer of "PropG, Mayor (MYR)", while this attached record has a footer of "Calendar, Mayor (MYR)" and contains substantially more information. What other records of the Mayor's calendar exist I do not knoow.

(Please note, I do not accept that the attached disclosed record is in fact a sufficient disclosure, but that is a matter for a separate petition for that request.)

My August 27 petition: https://cdn.muckrock.com/outbound_request_attachments/Anonymous_2859385/72902/SFSupervisorAppealForMayor-20190827.pdf

Furthermore, please note that if you determine that the non-Prop G calendar or *any* portion of it is public in this case, you have a non-discretionary duty to immediately order its disclosure. "Upon the determination by the supervisor of records that the record is public, the supervisor of records shall immediately order the custodian of the public record to comply with the person"s request. " (SFAC 67.21(d))
Please provide a copy of that order if you so determine. I do not wish to negotiate or wait for the Mayor's Office.

I look forward to your response.

Thanks,

On May 9, 2019:
We do not believe your arguments re: the acceptability of PDF format are valid and intend to contest them at the Sunshine Task Force. First, 6253.9(f) protects the integrity and security of the *original* record, not the copy of the record you provide to the public. Regardless, PDFs which are not digitally signed can be quite easily edited by anyone, no differently than editing say the .ics calendar file you could have provided to us. Second, 6253.9(a)(1) plainly requires provision of the in "any electronic format in which it holds the information" and we asked for the original format. Our understanding of computer systems indicates that format is not PDF.

In the mean time, I will point out that the original electronic format of the Mayor's calendar may contain substantial additional information (such as email addresses, conference call numbers, actual names of attendees instead of group descriptions, the acceptance/rejection of individual attendees to the invite, etc.) than that which was printed out for us. In addition to, and separately from, not being in the original format, by converting to PDF, you may have withheld such portions of the record from us, without pointing out to us that the portions were in fact withheld nor providing statutory justification for exemption (required by CPRA and the Sunshine Ordinance) nor providing the name and title of the official responsible for such withholding. Please provide all such information, if any information was withheld in the PDF you released to us, as compared to the original format.

On May 8, 2019:
This is an Immediate Disclosure Request under the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance, made before close of business May 8, 2019.

** Note that all of your responses (including disclosed records) may be automatically and instantly available to the public on the MuckRock.com service used to issue this request (though I am not a MuckRock representative). **

We request under the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance (Ordinance) and the California Public Records Act (CPRA):

"1. an electronic copy, in the original electronic format, with all calendar item headers, email addresses, metadata, timestamps, attachments, appendices, exhibits, and inline images, except those explicitly exempted by the Ordinance, of the Mayor's calendar, with all items, from April 28 to May 4, 2019 (inclusive)."

We remind you of your obligations to provide electronic records in the original format you hold them in. Therefore, calendars exported in the .ics, iCalendar, or vCard formats with all non-exempt headers, metadata, attachments, etc. are best. Such formats are easily exportable from Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange or other common calendaring/email systems.

However, if you choose to convert calendar items, for example, to PDF or printed format, to easily redact them, you must ensure that you have preserved the full content of the original calendar item record (as specified in request "1"), which contains many detailed headers beyond the ones generally printed out. If you instead provide PDFs or printed items with only a few of the headers or lacking attachments/images, and therefore withhold the other headers/attachments without justification, you may be in violation of SF Admin Code 67.26, 67.27, Govt Code 6253(a), 6253.9, and/or 6255, and we may challenge your decision.

Please provide only those copies of records available without any fees. If you determine certain records would require fees, please instead provide the required notice of which of those records are available and non-exempt for inspection in-person if we so choose.

I look forward to your immediate disclosure.

Thank you very much for your response.

The Office of the Mayor in their supplemental response states "- Redactions at the top of each page - security procedures information related to security detail redacted pursuant to Cal. Gov. Code 6254(f)." 6254(f) is not a permitted exemption reason for the reasons specified fully on the last para on page 3 and on the full page 5 of the following petition regarding other calendars: https://cdn.muckrock.com/outbound_request_attachments/94383620Anonymous/79117/79117-SupervisorPetition-20190906_3Fx53BW.pdf , those paragraphs being incorporated by reference herein.

Furthermore, the Mayor has withheld specific metadata, partially visible on this newest PDF, that is obviously public. Note the circles with arrows on the right hand side; these indicate recurrence information in the calendar record. This information must be disclosed, as explained under heading "Recurrence Metadata" of page 4 of the link above, those paragraphs being incorporated by reference herein.

Also, I missed this in the last email: while I understand the Mayor's Office turned over this non-Prop G calendar eventually, I think I am still owed a determination from the Supervisor of Records on my Aug 27 petition. You did not make that determination, and that is quite important to ensuring agencies cannot run rough-shod over our transparency laws.

Please issue me the obvious determination that these non-Prop G calendars now disclosed were and are in fact public records. This should be a very simple legal determination - there was a calendar prepared, owned, used, or retained by the Office of Mayor, and so it was plainly a public record, regardless of the Sunshine Ordinance or the Good Government Guide (which has no legal authority). This is not a new petition - it was made on Aug. 27.

Thank you,

*** FILE 19047 ***

Dear SOTF,

[I earlier today sent you a follow-up to 19047 re: my more in-depth requests for calendars. This is yet another follow-up for the 19047 case using a different mechanism of enforcing compliance by the City. Please add both to the file.]

Hank Heckel stated at the Aug. 20 committee (1h 17min in audio): "Anonymous's complaint is focused on information which either (a) was provided, (b) does not exist, or (c) compromises non-substantiative metadata...". This appears to be false, evidenced by the 2nd, non-Prop G calendar attached, recently disclosed by Respondents (titled by me SUPPLEMENTAL RECORD). Note that this non-Prop G calendar does, in fact, identify (among other things) individual staff where the original disclosed record (the public-facing Prop G calendar) failed to do so.

Since your Aug. 20 committee determination, I have been pressing many parallel tracks to get all the calendar documents or force the Respondents to properly justify all their withholding. One of those methods is a second (and then third) SFAC 67.21(d) petition to the Supervisor of Records to determine that non-Prop G calendar records are also public. On the due date of my petition, the Mayor's Office provided a non-Prop G calendar and the Sup. of Records also replied to us nearly simultaneously, without formally denying or granting my petition. This appears to be a maneuver of internal negotiation between the Sup. of Records and the Respondents (Mayor's Office) allowing the Supervisor of Records to not have to make an on-the-record determination that such calendars are public. I have attached the supplemental record, Respondents' supplemental response, and the petition response.

There is no mootness rule in the Sunshine Ordinance for either your Task Force or the Supervisor of Records - the fact that the Respondents previously withheld this information, in contravention of the Sunshine Ordinance/CPRA, triggering my petitions and complaints, means I am due such an Order of Determination and still want you to find that the Respondents violated the ordinance. I will continue to pursue that Order from your Task Force and the Supervisor of Records - I want these orders on the record, and available for me to enforce at Superior Court under 67.21(f) and 67.35, if need be.

Note also that all my metadata/format objections in 19047 are still unresolved as well.

This appears to be false, evidenced by the 2nd, non-Prop G calendar recently disclosed by your office. Note that this non-Prop G calendar does, in fact, identify (among other things) individual staff where the original disclosed record (the public-facing Prop G calendar) failed to do so.

This appears to be a maneuver of internal negotiation between the Sup. of Records and your office allowing the Sup. of Records to not have to make an on-the-record determination that such non-Prop G calendars are public.

Note when the City Attorney, as Supervisor of Records, maneuvers in this way with your office, they are *not* acting as your legal counsel, and therefore your communications regarding my petiton (but not the advice you may have requested separately from your DCA's) are NOT subject to attorney-client privilege. The Supervisor of Records is supposedly acting on behalf of the people, to enforce disclosure of records pursuant to the Sunshine Ordinance. With all that in mind, this is an IMMEDIATE DISCLOSURE REQUEST for
1) records of all written communication (emails/texts/chat/etc.) between the Mayor's Office and City Attorney's office acting in its capacity as the Supervisor of Records regarding disclosure of non-Prop G calendar information and/or my petition to the Sup. of Records on Aug. and/or the Sup. of Records' response to that petition.
2) *public information* (not records) regarding any non-written communications your office (specifically Hank Heckel) has with the City Attorney's office acting in its capacity as the Supervisor of Records regarding disclosure of non-Prop G calendar information and/or my petition to the Sup. of Records on Aug. and/or the Sup. of Records' response to that petition. I am asking for a release of oral public information in this item.

Finally, there is no mootness rule in the Sunshine Ordinance for either the Task Force or the Supervisor of Records - the fact that your office previously withheld this information, in contravention of the Sunshine Ordinance/CPRA, triggering my petitions and complaints, means I am due such an Order of Determination and still want the Task Force to find that your office violated the ordinance.

I want these orders on the record, and available for me to enforce at Superior Court under 67.21(f) and 67.35, if need be.
I intend to have enforceable precedent for the public at large so they do not have to go through this arduous process of months of appeals, petitions, and complaints.

Note also that all my metadata/format objections in 19047 are still unresolved as well.
Even in this latest disclosure you have plainly withheld public, non-exempt metadata. Note the circles with arrows next to some of the events. This is recurrence information (how often a meeting occurs). If you provided each item, and all of their metadata, as I requested originally, you would not have improperly withheld this non-exempt information.

In items #1 and #2 of this request, the phrases "on Aug." are amended to "on Aug. 27." So it should read:

Dear Anonymous,

This responds to your request below sent on Saturday September 7 and received by the Office of the Mayor on Monday, September 9. Your request purports to be an immediate disclosure request but satisfies neither the criteria of listing "Immediate Disclosure Request" nor of seeking material that is simple and routine to provide. Moreover, your request necessitates consultation with another department. Accordingly, the Office of the Mayor will treat this request as subject to the full 10 day period to respond for a regular request and reserves its rights to seek a further extension as needed. See Admin Code 67.25; Government Code § 6253(c).

Additionally, Item 2 of your request does not seek written communications and is therefore not the subject of a "records" request. Please clarify what type of information you are seeking responsive to Item 2.

Please let us know if you have questions regarding your request.

1) records of all written communication (emails/texts/chat/etc.) between the Mayor's Office and City Attorney's office acting in its capacity as the Supervisor of Records regarding disclosure of non-Prop G calendar information and/or my petition to the Sup. of Records on Aug. and/or the Sup. of Records' response to that petition.
2) *public information* (not records) regarding any non-written communications your office (specifically Hank Heckel) has with the City Attorney's office acting in its capacity as the Supervisor of Records regarding disclosure of non-Prop G calendar information and/or my petition to the Sup. of Records on Aug. and/or the Sup. of Records' response to that petition. I am asking for a release of oral public information in this item.

Finally, there is no mootness rule in the Sunshine Ordinance for either the Task Force or the Supervisor of Records - the fact that your office previously withheld this information, in contravention of the Sunshine Ordinance/CPRA, triggering my petitions and complaints, means I am due such an Order of Determination and still want the Task Force to find that your office violated the ordinance. I will continue to pursue that Order from the Task Force and the Supervisor of Records.

I want these orders on the record, and available for me to enforce at Superior Court under 67.21(f) and 67.35, if need be.
I intend to have enforceable precedent for the public at large so they do not have to go through this arduous process of months of appeals, petitions, and complaints.

Note also that all my metadata/format objections in 19047 are still unresolved as well.
Even in this latest disclosure you have plainly withheld public, non-exempt metadata. Note the circles with arrows next to some of the events. This is recurrence information (how often a meeting occurs). If you provided each item, and all of their metadata, as I requested originally, you would not have improperly withheld this non-exempt information.

Sincerely,

Anonymous

Dear SOTF,

[I earlier today sent you a follow-up to 19047 re: my more in-depth requests for calendars. This is yet another follow-up for the 19047 case using a different mechanism of enforcing compliance by the City. Please add both to the file.]

Hank Heckel stated at the Aug. 20 committee (1h 17min in audio): "Anonymous's complaint is focused on information which either (a) was provided, (b) does not exist, or (c) compromises non-substantiative metadata...". This appears to be false, evidenced by the 2nd, non-Prop G calendar attached, recently disclosed by Respondents (titled by me SUPPLEMENTAL RECORD). Note that this non-Prop G calendar does, in fact, identify (among other things) individual staff where the original disclosed record (the public-facing Prop G calendar) failed to do so.

Since your Aug. 20 committee determination, I have been pressing many parallel tracks to get all the calendar documents or force the Respondents to properly justify all their withholding. One of those methods is a second (and then third) SFAC 67.21(d) petition to the Supervisor of Records to determine that non-Prop G calendar records are also public. On the due date of my petition, the Mayor's Office provided a non-Prop G calendar and the Sup. of Records also replied to us nearly simultaneously, without formally denying or granting my petition. This appears to be a maneuver of internal negotiation between the Sup. of Records and the Respondents (Mayor's Office) allowing the Supervisor of Records to not have to make an on-the-record determination that such calendars are public. I have attached the supplemental record, Respondents' supplemental response, and the petition response.

There is no mootness rule in the Sunshine Ordinance for either your Task Force or the Supervisor of Records - the fact that the Respondents previously withheld this information, in contravention of the Sunshine Ordinance/CPRA, triggering my petitions and complaints, means I am due such an Order of Determination and still want you to find that the Respondents violated the ordinance.

Also, I missed this in the last email: while I understand the Mayor's Office turned over this non-Prop G calendar eventually, I think I am still owed a determination from the Supervisor of Records on my Aug 27 petition. You did not make that determination, and that is quite important to ensuring agencies cannot run rough-shod over our transparency laws.

Please issue me the obvious determination that these non-Prop G calendars now disclosed were and are in fact public records. This should be a very simple legal determination - there was a calendar prepared, owned, used, or retained by the Office of Mayor, and so it was plainly a public record, regardless of the Sunshine Ordinance or the Good Government Guide (which has no legal authority). This is not a new petition - it was made on Aug. 27.

Thank you,

Thank you very much for your response.

The Office of the Mayor in their supplemental response states "- Redactions at the top of each page - security procedures information related to security detail redacted pursuant to Cal. Gov. Code 6254(f)." 6254(f) is not a permitted exemption reason for the reasons specified fully on the last para on page 3 and on the full page 5 of the following petition regarding other calendars: https://cdn.muckrock.com/outbound_request_attachments/94383620Anonymous/79117/79117-SupervisorPetition-20190906_3Fx53BW.pdf , those paragraphs being incorporated by reference herein.

Furthermore, the Mayor has withheld specific metadata, partially visible on this newest PDF, that is obviously public. Note the circles with arrows on the right hand side; these indicate recurrence information in the calendar record. This information must be disclosed, as explained under heading "Recurrence Metadata" of page 4 of the link above, those paragraphs being incorporated by reference herein.

Subject: California Public Records Act Request: April 28-May 4, 2019 Calendar - Immediate Disclosure Request
This is an Immediate Disclosure Request under the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance, made before close of business May 8, 2019.

** Note that all of your responses (including disclosed records) may be automatically and instantly available to the public on the MuckRock.com service used to issue this request (though I am not a MuckRock representative). **

We request under the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance (Ordinance) and the California Public Records Act (CPRA):

"1. an electronic copy, in the original electronic format, with all calendar item headers, email addresses, metadata, timestamps, attachments, appendices, exhibits, and inline images, except those explicitly exempted by the Ordinance, of the Mayor's calendar, with all items, from April 28 to May 4, 2019 (inclusive)."

We remind you of your obligations to provide electronic records in the original format you hold them in. Therefore, calendars exported in the .ics, iCalendar, or vCard formats with all non-exempt headers, metadata, attachments, etc. are best. Such formats are easily exportable from Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange or other common calendaring/email systems.

However, if you choose to convert calendar items, for example, to PDF or printed format, to easily redact them, you must ensure that you have preserved the full content of the original calendar item record (as specified in request "1"), which contains many detailed headers beyond the ones generally printed out. If you instead provide PDFs or printed items with only a few of the headers or lacking attachments/images, and therefore withhold the other headers/attachments without justification, you may be in violation of SF Admin Code 67.26, 67.27, Govt Code 6253(a), 6253.9, and/or 6255, and we may challenge your decision.

Please provide only those copies of records available without any fees. If you determine certain records would require fees, please instead provide the required notice of which of those records are available and non-exempt for inspection in-person if we so choose.

I look forward to your immediate disclosure.

To clarify the response below, your request did not indicate that it was an "Immediate Disclosure Request" in the subject line of the request as required by Admin Code 67.25(a).

From: twitter.com/journo_anon Public Records Requester

Mr. Heckel,

The non-IDR nature is acknowledged.

Although the purpose of my request cannot be considered in withholding, it may help you identify responsive information. My purpose is to determine whether the Supervisor of Records and/or Mayor's Office are working to ensure the Supervisor of Records does not have to formally grant petitions under SFAC 67.21(d). Historically, the Sup. of Records denies my petitions formally. In the case of the response of Sept. 6 re: these calendars, the petition appears neither to be denied nor granted, even though there is no mootness rule in the Sunshine Ordinance, and your office had in fact withheld the non-Prop G records you later provided, as of the date I filed the petition. I am trying to figure out what's going on here. I will be attempting to find all public information from whatever agency neccessary to answer this.

Therefore, here is the public information in #2 that I would like:
* Did the Mayor's Office coordinate with the Supervisor of Records (or his delegates, including but not limited to, Bradley Russi, DCA) re: its supplementary response to my May 8 request? If so what was the nature of this coordination?
* Did the Mayor's Office request that my petition not be granted (even in part), even though the Mayor's Office did in fact provide non-Prop G calendars?
* Did the Supervisor of Records (or his delegates) request that the Mayor's Office provide the supplemental records no later than Sept. 6 to attempt to avoid granting my petition (even in part)?

Please note, I am allowed to make a oral request for information (SFAC 67.22). Therefore, if you refuse to provide a written response to the above, please provide your city phone number such that I may call and request that information. Since I believe you as Custodian of Records are in fact the person, if any, who would be coordinating with the Sup. of Records, it should take you less than the 15 minutes maximum to answer.

RE: Follow-up to August 27 and Sept 6 Petition/Followup from this email address re: SOTF 19047

In this petition I discussed among many other issues the improper withholding of recurrence metadata hinted at by circles with arrows in the print-outs.

Attached to this email is a new Exhibit D; it is further proof that the Mayor's Office is still withholding a public part of a record. Exhibit D is a record provided by the Mayor's Office in a completely different CPRA request. It is what a print out of a calendar item looks like when it preserves much (but still not all) of the non-exempt metadata. Recall that my original request included "...all calendar item headers, email addresses, metadata, timestamps, attachments, appendices, exhibits, and inline images, except those explicitly exempted by the Ordinance, of the Mayor's calendar, with all items,..." The recurrence, organizer, free time, status, and importance information shown in Exhibit D is exactly that type of stll improperly withheld information in this petition. It has absolutely nothing to do with information security. For some reason instead of actually printing out each of calendar item (as your office for example has done in the past), the Mayor only printed out the summary view of the calendar which excludes a lot of information.

I also maintain the other requests for determination in the remainder of the Aug. 27 and Sept. 6 petition.

Please remember that even if the Mayor's Office provides, voluntarily or perhaps by your intra-City prodding, a supplemental disclosure after my petition, and without you ordering them to do so, your office still owes a written determination under SFAC 67.21(d) whether any part of the records requested are public. There is no mootness rule in the Sunshine Ordinance.

You were very clear when you denied my petition from May 15. But your response to my Aug. 27 petition (https://cdn.muckrock.com/foia_files/2019/09/06/2019-09-06_Ltr_to_Muckrock.pdf) has no such clear grant or denial.

While the Good Government Guide you discuss in your response is advice by your office (in its attorney role) to the City agencies, it has no force of law, and it is not a determination in response to my petition.

In contrast your determinations can actually be enforced by the public in court against the City departments. Perhaps that is why you are unwilling to give positive determinations; but it is nevertheless your duty as Supervisor of Records, one which Mr. Coté has argued your office takes very seriously.

Please issue the clear granting of my Aug. 27 and Sept. 6 petitions, even in part, regardless of events occurring after the petition. Your determinations help build the "case law" that other members of the public can rely on without going through this drawn-out appeals process.

Dear Anonymous,

This responds to your inquiry below. Your request seeks confidential discussions between the City Attorney's Office and a client department that is exempt from disclosure pursuant to the attorney/client privilege. See Gov't Code § 6254(k); Evidence Code § 954; Admin. Code § 67.21(k). Accordingly, we will refrain from providing any such information.

Moreover, to the extent you are making a request under Admin Code 67.22 for specific interactions between Mayor's Office staff and the City Attorney's Office, it exceeds the scope of this procedure which only applies to requests for certain information about a department's
"operations, plans, policies and positions."

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Dear Anonymous,

This responds to your request below sent on Saturday September 7 and received by the Office of the Mayor on Monday, September 9. Your request purports to be an immediate disclosure request but satisfies neither the criteria of listing "Immediate Disclosure Request" nor of seeking material that is simple and routine to provide. Moreover, your request necessitates consultation with another department. Accordingly, the Office of the Mayor will treat this request as subject to the full 10 day period to respond for a regular request and reserves its rights to seek a further extension as needed. See Admin Code 67.25; Government Code § 6253(c).

Additionally, Item 2 of your request does not seek written communications and is therefore not the subject of a "records" request. Please clarify what type of information you are seeking responsive to Item 2.

Please let us know if you have questions regarding your request.

Office of Mayor,

In items #1 and #2 of this request, the phrases "on Aug." are amended to "on Aug. 27." So it should read:

1) records of all written communication (emails/texts/chat/etc.) between the Mayor's Office and City Attorney's office acting in its capacity as the Supervisor of Records regarding disclosure of non-Prop G calendar information and/or my petition to the Sup. of Records on Aug. 27 and/or the Sup. of Records' response to that petition.
2) *public information* (not records) regarding any non-written communications your office (specifically Hank Heckel) has with the City Attorney's office acting in its capacity as the Supervisor of Records regarding disclosure of non-Prop G calendar information and/or my petition to the Sup. of Records on Aug. 27 and/or the Sup. of Records' response to that petition. I am asking for a release of oral public information in this item."

If needed, you may consider this a new request with today's date, and cancel yesterday's similar IDR.

Hank Heckel stated at the Aug. 20 committee (1h 17min in audio): "Anonymous's complaint is focused on information which either (a) was provided, (b) does not exist, or (c) compromises non-substantiative metadata...". This appears to be false, evidenced by the 2nd, non-Prop G calendar recently disclosed by your office. Note that this non-Prop G calendar does, in fact, identify (among other things) individual staff where the original disclosed record (the public-facing Prop G calendar) failed to do so. It is possible Mr. Heckel was unaware of this other calendar - I cannot know.

Since the Aug. 20 committee determination, I have been pressing many parallel tracks to get all the calendar documents and/or force your office to properly justify all their withholding. One of those methods was a second (and then third) SFAC 67.21(d) petition to the Supervisor of Records to determine that non-Prop G calendar records are also public. On the due date of my petition, your office provided a non-Prop G calendar and the Sup. of Records also replied to us nearly simultaneously, without formally denying or granting my petition. This appears to be a maneuver of internal negotiation between the Sup. of Records and your office allowing the Sup. of Records to not have to make an on-the-record determination that such non-Prop G calendars are public.

Note when the City Attorney, as Supervisor of Records, maneuvers in this way with your office, they are *not* acting as your legal counsel, and therefore your communications regarding my petiton (but not the advice you may have requested separately from your DCA's) are NOT subject to attorney-client privilege. The Supervisor of Records is supposedly acting on behalf of the people, to enforce disclosure of records pursuant to the Sunshine Ordinance. With all that in mind, this is an IMMEDIATE DISCLOSURE REQUEST for
1) records of all written communication (emails/texts/chat/etc.) between the Mayor's Office and City Attorney's office acting in its capacity as the Supervisor of Records regarding disclosure of non-Prop G calendar information and/or my petition to the Sup. of Records on Aug. and/or the Sup. of Records' response to that petition.
2) *public information* (not records) regarding any non-written communications your office (specifically Hank Heckel) has with the City Attorney's office acting in its capacity as the Supervisor of Records regarding disclosure of non-Prop G calendar information and/or my petition to the Sup. of Records on Aug. and/or the Sup. of Records' response to that petition. I am asking for a release of oral public information in this item.

Finally, there is no mootness rule in the Sunshine Ordinance for either the Task Force or the Supervisor of Records - the fact that your office previously withheld this information, in contravention of the Sunshine Ordinance/CPRA, triggering my petitions and complaints, means I am due such an Order of Determination and still want the Task Force to find that your office violated the ordinance. I will continue to pursue that Order from the Task Force and the Supervisor of Records.

I want these orders on the record, and available for me to enforce at Superior Court under 67.21(f) and 67.35, if need be.
I intend to have enforceable precedent for the public at large so they do not have to go through this arduous process of months of appeals, petitions, and complaints.

Note also that all my metadata/format objections in 19047 are still unresolved as well.
Even in this latest disclosure you have plainly withheld public, non-exempt metadata. Note the circles with arrows next to some of the events. This is recurrence information (how often a meeting occurs). If you provided each item, and all of their metadata, as I requested originally, you would not have improperly withheld this non-exempt information.

Sincerely,

Anonymous

Dear SOTF,

Subject: RE: California Public Records Act Request #19047
Also, I missed this in the last email: while I understand the Mayor's Office turned over this non-Prop G calendar eventually, I think I am still owed a determination from the Supervisor of Records on my Aug 27 petition. You did not make that determination, and that is quite important to ensuring agencies cannot run rough-shod over our transparency laws.

Please issue me the obvious determination that these non-Prop G calendars now disclosed were and are in fact public records. This should be a very simple legal determination - there was a calendar prepared, owned, used, or retained by the Office of Mayor, and so it was plainly a public record, regardless of the Sunshine Ordinance or the Good Government Guide (which has no legal authority). This is not a new petition - it was made on Aug. 27.

Thank you,

Thank you very much for your response.

The Office of the Mayor in their supplemental response states "- Redactions at the top of each page - security procedures information related to security detail redacted pursuant to Cal. Gov. Code 6254(f)." 6254(f) is not a permitted exemption reason for the reasons specified fully on the last para on page 3 and on the full page 5 of the following petition regarding other calendars: https://cdn.muckrock.com/outbound_request_attachments/94383620Anonymous/79117/79117-SupervisorPetition-20190906_3Fx53BW.pdf , those paragraphs being incorporated by reference herein.

Furthermore, the Mayor has withheld specific metadata, partially visible on this newest PDF, that is obviously public. Note the circles with arrows on the right hand side; these indicate recurrence information in the calendar record. This information must be disclosed, as explained under heading "Recurrence Metadata" of page 4 of the link above, those paragraphs being incorporated by reference herein.

Subject: California Public Records Act Request: April 28-May 4, 2019 Calendar - Immediate Disclosure Request
This is an Immediate Disclosure Request under the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance, made before close of business May 8, 2019.

** Note that all of your responses (including disclosed records) may be automatically and instantly available to the public on the MuckRock.com service used to issue this request (though I am not a MuckRock representative). **

We request under the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance (Ordinance) and the California Public Records Act (CPRA):

"1. an electronic copy, in the original electronic format, with all calendar item headers, email addresses, metadata, timestamps, attachments, appendices, exhibits, and inline images, except those explicitly exempted by the Ordinance, of the Mayor's calendar, with all items, from April 28 to May 4, 2019 (inclusive)."

We remind you of your obligations to provide electronic records in the original format you hold them in. Therefore, calendars exported in the .ics, iCalendar, or vCard formats with all non-exempt headers, metadata, attachments, etc. are best. Such formats are easily exportable from Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange or other common calendaring/email systems.

However, if you choose to convert calendar items, for example, to PDF or printed format, to easily redact them, you must ensure that you have preserved the full content of the original calendar item record (as specified in request "1"), which contains many detailed headers beyond the ones generally printed out. If you instead provide PDFs or printed items with only a few of the headers or lacking attachments/images, and therefore withhold the other headers/attachments without justification, you may be in violation of SF Admin Code 67.26, 67.27, Govt Code 6253(a), 6253.9, and/or 6255, and we may challenge your decision.

Please provide only those copies of records available without any fees. If you determine certain records would require fees, please instead provide the required notice of which of those records are available and non-exempt for inspection in-person if we so choose.

I look forward to your immediate disclosure.

Sincerely,

Office of Mayor,

In items #1 and #2 of this request, the phrases "on Aug." are amended to "on Aug. 27." So it should read:
"... this is an IMMEDIATE DISCLOSURE REQUEST for
1) records of all written communication (emails/texts/chat/etc.) between the Mayor's Office and City Attorney's office acting in its capacity as the Supervisor of Records regarding disclosure of non-Prop G calendar information and/or my petition to the Sup. of Records on Aug. 27 and/or the Sup. of Records' response to that petition.

I am asking for a release of oral public information in this item."

If needed, you may consider this a new request with today's date, and cancel yesterday's similar IDR.

From: twitter.com/journo_anon Public Records Requester

1. The Supervisor of Records does not act as legal counsel for the city when determining, as a neutral, whether a record is public or not. Attorney-client privilege does not apply. If nothing else this will be a good test case to see just how far the City can go in wrapping its maneuverings in purported privileges.

2. My request's 2nd part was precisely for an "operation" of the Mayor's office, and should be answered. In addition, I will ask for your office's "position" on whether the Supervisor of Records should neither deny nor grant a petition, when the records are indeed public, as demonstrated by your department disclosing them after the petition's filing.

3. This is a request for a statement under 67.21(c) re: the quantity, existence, form, and nature of each set of records that I requested. Note that 67.21(c) explicitly requires a response EVEN when the records are exempt from disclosure.

Ms. Leger and/or Chair Wolfe,

I am not sure which of you has authority over the agenda for Oct. 2. I am the complainant in 19044 and 19047. I have 2 requests:

1. Please correct the agenda outline for Oct. 2 to reflect the correct allegations as stated in my original complaints; they currently list the wrong sections. I will be asking the task force to find violations of all of these:
- 19044 should be: SF Admin Code (Sunshine Ordinance) 67.27, 67.26, and 67.21; Gov Code (CPRA) 6253.9, 6253, and 6255 -- see complaint, P357 et seq of the Aug 20 file.
- 19047 should be: SF Admin Code (Sunshine Ordinance) 67.27, 67.26, and 67.21; Gov Code (CPRA) 6253.9, 6253, and 6255 -- see complaint, P493 et seq of the Aug 20 file.

2. I request the scheduling order to have 19047 go immediately *before* 19044 on Oct. 2 agenda (regardless of when in the schedule they are). I believe the discussion for 19047 will allow a more comfortable introduction to 19044, which is more complicated. 19047 allows for introducing the task force to certain technical concepts which would then be dived into more in depth in 19044. And I believe the complaint committee asked the parties to help educate the Task Force on the technical issues.

Thank you for your consideration,

Anonymous

**** FILE 19047 ****

Please include the attached PDF at the top of Complainant's documents in the 19047 packet for Oct. 2. It is the draft of the presentation I will give on Oct. 2. If the Task Force could have print outs to follow along with me over the conference call as I go through the "slides," that would be much appreciated.

The packet should also include: the Aug 20 state of the file, the one document I previously indicated to you was erroneously missing on Aug 20, and the various petitions and supplemental responses received from Respondents in the interim that I previously forwarded to you. Please let me know if you will need those resent.

And as stated earlier, the 19047 agenda caption should accurately reflect my complaint, i.e. alleged violations of SF Admin Code (Sunshine Ordinance) 67.27, 67.26, and 67.21; Gov Code (CPRA) 6253.9, 6253, and 6255 -- see complaint, P493 et seq of the Aug 20 file. 67.25 and 67.29-5 were NOT alleged.

Please confirm you got this new document as well please.

Looking forward to getting this case resolved!

I was not using speaker phone last time - but I will be using a professional bluetooth set this time, so my side should work better hopefully.

Last time, the podium was inaudible so I could not really hear respondent - any chance the volume of that audio line on the conference call could be increased a bit?

Re: Times Mirror:
There's a reason Gov Code 6255 and every "similar" exemption is explicitly prohibited by the Sunshine Ordinance in the City of SF.
As you admit, Gov Code 6254(f) was not cited in Times Mirror.
I will continue to appeal this at every level - the City is blatantly ignoring the text of the laws and judge's opinions.

Dear Anonymous,

Please see the attached files responsive to the referenced Order and your request below.

Please note that the "non-Prop G" calendar records you reference were previously produced in a supplemental production on September 6 for these dates. To the extent the production of those records is a subject of the Order those records have already been produced.

Please note that we are producing a daily view of the "non-Prop G" calendar records in a text PDF as opposed to a scanned PDF as requested. Thus, to the extent that format is a subject of the Order we are providing those records herewith.

Please note that we are producing individual ICS calendar views of entries from these dates in PDF. However, our understanding is that SOTF has not made a final determination as to the ICS format and the inherent metadata associated with that format or for metadata associated with other Outlook "native" formats such as .msg.

As you know, this issue was discussed extensively during the hearing on this file as was related metadata issues concerning your complaints on request to the City Attorney's Office at the same hearing. At the conclusion of that hearing SOTF referred all such metadata issues from the City Attorney complaints to the Technology Committee. I also requested that the metadata issues in this file also be so referred. SOTF granted that request.

At the October 22 Technology Committee meeting there was again extensive discussion of these issues including the scope and manner of appropriate redactions for these types of metadata. These issues were not resolved and were narrowed and referred back to the full Task Force.

Pending further determinations regarding such issues we maintain our objections to production in ICS format with metadata. We are also continuing to consult with the City Attorney's Office and City IT regarding these issues and other potential exemptions in the meantime. Accordingly, we are not currently providing such formats and metadata pending this consultation, pursuant to at least Cal. Gov. Code 6253.9(f) and 6254.19 and Admin. Code 67.21(l).

We reserve our rights to amend and supplement this response in accordance with the outcome of this consultation.

Please note the following redactions in this production.

* The redacted information associated with recurrences has been withheld for security reasons pursuant to Cal. Gov. Code 6254(f);
* The redacted "SID" information about the Mayor's security detail has been withheld for security reasons pursuant to Cal. Gov. Code 6254(f);
* The cell phone and dial in numbers have been redacted to protect personal privacy and to protect official information. See Cal. Govt. Code Secs. 6254(c), 6254(k); California Constitution, Art. I, Sec. 1; Cal. Evid. Code Sec. 1040(b)(2).
We reserve all rights to seek clarification or a challenge to any part of the referenced Order.

cc: SOTF, for file 19047

City and County of San Francisco, Mr. Heckel, Mayor Breed, Office of the Mayor,

1. There is no such thing in Microsoft Outlook as "individual ICS calendar views of entries" that you claim you provided. ICS is a file format, not a view. The word ICS there has no meaning. You provided "Memo Style" views as the print-outs state.

2. You have not produced text PDFs either. At least Memo Style_Redacted, Memo Style 3_Redacted, Memo Style 19_Redacted and possibly others are inexplicably in an image format with no selectable text.

3. You provided some records that have nothing to do with this request. For example (there are others), you provided Memo_Style_19_Redacted.pdf which is for an Oct. 21 meeting. Order 19047 is for calendar entries from April 28 to May 4, 2019 (inclusive). Are you sure you provided all of the requested records even in PDF form?

4. You have refused to provide ICS files with redactions and justifications within 5 days of the order:

Re-listen to the audio recording for the hearing https://sanfrancisco.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=95&clip_id=34216
- 19047, 2:12:40 - the motion includes 67.21(l) failure to produce requested ICS format as the violation (more violations are also added)
- 19047, 2:18:20 - Clerk Young repeats 67.21(l) as one of the specific violations prior to SOTF voting 7-0
- 19044, 3:48:33 - it is clarified that 19047 is done, and an order has been made
- 19044, 3:48:54 - you asked for the *metadata issue* in ICS calendars to be considered by the IT committee (which I have already previously acknowledged)

Emails in .MSG format were not relevant to Order 19047, only calendars in .ICS was. This solely confuses matters.

You were indeed free to produce .ICS calendar files with whatever you wanted redacted and justified, including redacting all of the metadata (just like the City Attorney already did in 19044 with email headers). Your Chief of Information Security even had suggested such a redaction during the hearing - leaving only the parts of the ICS file that were visible on the individual meeting view. Parts of the ICS file are *not* metadata by any definition of that term, such as the subject, location, time, attendees, etc. of the meeting. Yet you still refused to provide the .ICS calendars.

In fact, multiple times now you could have produced even a single redacted .ICS file to enter into the SOTF record and discuss the redactions, but you refuse to do so, which would appear to be for the sole purpose of frustrating the ability of SOTF to see how easy this really is.

We reserve the right to file suit against the City to enforce Order 19047, for production of the redacted .ICS files independent of the Order, or both.

Sincerely,

Anonymous

Dear Complainant,

We are writing concerning File No. 19089, which is currently scheduled for hearing before the full Task Force on December 4, 2019. Unfortunately, the person from our office who is most well-suited to address this complaint, John Cote, is out of the office and will not return on December 5, due to a previously-scheduled family vacation. We would like to request a continuance so that Mr. Cote can participate. This is the first continuance that we have requested on this complaint.

Please let us know if you would agree to this request. Based on Task Force Rule 8(b), it is our understanding that the Task Force would automatically grant the continuance if you were to agree to it. If you do not agree, we understand Rule 8(b) to state that the Task Force could authorize a continuance by a simple majority vote of the members present.

Thank you.

Re: File No. 19132, Anonymous (c/o requests@muckrock.com) v. Department of Emergency Management and Mary Ellen Carroll

Dear Honorable Members of the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force ("SOTF"):

We write in response to Complaint No. 19132, filed by Anonymous on December 16, 2019, and received by the Department of Emergency Management on December 19, 2019. Anonymous alleges that Executive Director Mary Ellen Carroll and the Department of Emergency Management (DEM) violated Sections 67.21 and 67.25 of the Sunshine Ordinance (Admin. Code § 67.25), for failing to respond to an Immediate Disclosure Request dated December 7, 2019 ("IDR"), in a timely and/or complete manner.

The Task Force should dismiss this complaint.

After a thorough search, DEM has found no record of the IDR and has determined that DEM did not receive the IDR. DEM did receive a December 14, 2019 email in DEM's Outlook junk mail folder, which referenced the IDR.

Background

  • DEM Response - Complaint #19132 - Anonymous v. DEM MEC - final

  • 2020.01.07 - DEM Response to Anonymous - DEM Director Calendar - final

  • 01.07.2020 - IDR - Muckrock - DEM Calendar - responsive records

From: twitter.com/journo_anon Public Records Requester

Mayor Breed, Hank Heckel, and Office of the Mayor,

I have not forgotten about the Mayor's refusal to comply in 19047.
All excuses are gone now.

If you willfully violate the SOTF orders and have not provided .ICS files by close of business January 29, or if you continue to attempt to mislead or to evade your responsibilities through word-games, you will be named in further filings. Consult your IT staff, consult DT, consult whoever you want, and provide me the .ICS files (redact the portions you want to redact), so we can finally put an end to this. Remember 67.26 allows you to redact by 'deletion' not just 'masking'. If masking is difficult in an .ICS file, then you must delete.

You are not above the law. It is high-time for the City to learn how to produce modern electronic records.

NOTE: Please be certain you have properly redacted all of your responses. Once you send them to us, there is no going back. The email address sending this request is a publicly- viewable mailbox. All of your responses (including all responsive records) may be instantly and automatically available to the public online via the MuckRock.com FOIA service used to issue this request (though the requester is an anonymous user, not a representative of MuckRock). Nothing herein is legal, IT, or professional advice of any kind. The author disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to all warranties of merchantability or fitness. In no event shall the author be liable for any special, direct, indirect, consequential, or any other damages whatsoever. The digital signature, if any, in this email is not an indication of a binding agreement or offer; it merely authenticates the sender. Please do not include any confidential information, as I intend that these communications with the City all be disclosable public records.

(For unknown reasons, DEM decided to email their response to a different complaint to this email address. You'll just have to ignore that.)

It is now past January 29 CoB and your office has failed to provide even a single redacted ICS file in case 19047.
And we now know by your provision of parts of these files in other requests that these are, in even in your Office's own view, at least partially disclosable public records. Therefore you are now willfully and intentionally withholding public information.

SOTF,

In SOTF 19047, Mayor Breed, Hank Heckel, and the Office of the Mayor refuse to comply. Not a single 19047 ICS file was ever produced.

We know for certain that Respondents have the ability to produce calendar metadata, since they did so partially in a single record in another request from me. They have thus implicitly admitted that at least certain timestamps are disclosable public information, and their continued refusal to provide any part of the ICS files in this case 19047 is inexcusable, willful, and intentional withholding of disclosable public information that they themselves implicitly admit is disclosable.

Five days after Oct. 24, 2019 is long overdue ("If the custodian refuses or fails to comply with any such order within 5 days, the Sunshine Task Force shall notify the district attorney or the attorney general who may take whatever measures she or he deems necessary to insure compliance with the provisions of this ordinance." SFAC 67.21(e))

I know from redacting ICS files (in discussions with DT), that easily generating an ICS file takes a few seconds (as your Task Force member themselves demonstrated on Oct. 2, 2019) and that a single ICS file can have its exempt portions deleted in between a few seconds to a few minutes maximum.

Respondents do not understand that they must comply with your Task Force even when they disagree - that's what the Task Force is for. They reject the Sunshine Ordinance's basic premise: "The people do not cede to [government] entities the right to decide what the people should know about the operations of local government." (SFAC 67.1(b))

Please schedule this hearing at Compliance committee at your earliest possible convenience and include the attached document. I also intend to take your findings at committee and the underlying order to be directly enforced to Superior Court pursuant to SFAC 67.35(d).

NOTE: Please be certain you have properly redacted all of your responses. Once you send them to us, there is no going back. The email address sending this request is a publicly- viewable mailbox. All of your responses (including all responsive records) may be instantly and automatically available to the public online via the MuckRock.com FOIA service used to issue this request (though the requester is an anonymous user, not a representative of MuckRock).
