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 City Attorney (Herrera)'s calendar, with all items, from April 28 to May 4, 2019 (inclusive)."
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.
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 commonly 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
From: San Francisco City Attorney
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing in response to your immediate disclosure request received May 8, 2019.
We hereby invoke an extension of no more than 14 days to consult with another department regarding the records (See Cal. Gov't Code ยง6253(c) (3)). We will do our best to respond as soon as possible. However, based on the breadth of the request and the detailed information sought by it, which may or may not be readily available, we reserve the right to treat your request not as an immediate disclosure request, but as a request subject to the ordinary deadlines. If this is the case, we will notify you of such within 10 days.
Please send replies to cityattorney@sfcityatty.org<mailto:cityattorney@sfcityatty.org>

Dear Sir/Madam,
Attached is a copy of the City Attorney's calendar from April 28, 2019 through May 4, 2019.
Your request for the detailed headers and metadata for these calendar entries is not simple, routine, or readily answerable, as we need to review the matter with our IT staff to locate this information and to determine what portions if any may be produced. Therefore the immediate disclosure requirements do not apply. We will instead treat it as a normal request, and hereby invoke an extension of up to 14 days from today's date, based on Cal Govt Code 6253(c). We will get back to you as soon as we can.
Please send replies to cityattorney@sfcityatty.org<mailto:cityattorney@sfcityatty.org>

Thank you - I look forward to any remaining disclosures.
From: San Francisco City Attorney
Dear Sir/Madam,
Following up on our previous emails, we have investigated the matter further and have performed a reasonable and diligent search and were able to locate the following information. Please note, the calendar entries did not include many of the items you mentioned in your request (email addresses, inline images, attachments, exhibits, etc). We did not locate any headers or timestamps or other metadata beyond what is shown here. To the extent you are also requesting the native files for these calendar items rather than the PDFs, we would withhold the native files under Cal. Evid. Code section 1040 and Cal Govt Code 6253.9(f).
Please send replies to cityattorney@sfcityatty.org<mailto:cityattorney@sfcityatty.org>

Thank you for the further disclosures. While I do not concede that you are not required to provide native electronic files, I currently intend to wait for the conclusions of our other complaints before the Sunshine Task Force to determine how to proceed.
I will point out as I have in other complaints that exporting files is not a threat to the security of your original files or the security of your proprietary technology (the export format should be a standard calendar format), as long as you properly redact them. Furthermore, the "official information" privilege seems at first glance not relevant to the issue of native file production.

Dear SOTF Petitioners, Respondents and other Stakeholders:
As you most likely know SOTF operations have been delayed over the last few months due to the Covid-19 emergency. The SOTF have started to conduct remote meetings via videoconference and are working to establish procedures to resume all operations including the processing of complaints.
While the Sunshine Ordinance requires that certain actions be taken within 45 days, the Covid-19 emergency has forced delays and immense new backlogs for complaint hearings. We write today to ask if you are willing to waive the 45 day rule for your complaint.
The SOTF intends to resume hearing complaints on a limited basis and complaints will be queued to be heard in the near future. We continue to work to address technical issues posed by remote meetings. We are aware of the time sensitivity of your records requests. Please be assured that the SOTF appreciates the urgency of your matters and the importance of handling them in a timely manner.
If you have further questions about your files or have other issues, please feel free to email the SOTF Administrator at the email below.
