Cal Dining

Dear Mr. Smith:

This is to acknowledge and respond to your California Public Records Act
(CPRA) request below. The University regularly responds to focused and
effective requests that reasonably describe identifiable records relating
to the conduct of the public’s business. Government Code section 6252(e),
6253.1(a).

Your records request, as currently drafted is extremely broad, and
compliance with the request would be unduly burdensome pursuant to
Government Code section 6255. Your request would entail collection and
review of a voluminous number of documents. Please also be aware that
identification and collection of potentially responsive records is only the
first step in the CPRA response process. The collected records must be
reviewed to ensure that they are in fact responsive to your request and to
assess whether they are subject to redaction to protect privacy rights and
consistent with applicable legal privileges and exemptions.

Because we would like to furnish you with a set of information that could
satisfy your needs, we would encourage you to consider narrowing the scope
or nature of the request. Although we cannot compile records in response
to your request as drafted, we would be happy to consider a request that is
more narrowly tailored.

Please let us know how we can assist you in focusing your request.

Regards,

Liane Ko
Public Records Coordinator

Pursuant to my rights under the California Public Records Act (Government

university run cafes, athletics food, and the Berkeley food pantry.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public and
this request is not being made for commercial purposes. In the event there
are fees, I'd like to know of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my
request. I would prefer the request to be filed electronically via email

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter and look forward
to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days of this
matter, as the statute requires.
