Public Works:
Pursuant to the Sunshine Ordinance & California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1. Exact PDF copies with To, Cc, Bcc, From, date/timestamps, attachments, formatting, and hyperlinks of any communications of any form or app on government or personal property within your agency or between your agency and other City Agency about August 27 sweeps of homeless persons OR Newsom's participation therein
2. Exact PDF copies with To, Cc, Bcc, From, date/timestamps, attachments, formatting, and hyperlinks of any communications of any form or app on government or personal property between your agency and Newsom, his office, or representatives about August 27 sweeps of homeless persons OR Newsom's participation therein
3. Exact PDF copies with To, Cc, Bcc, From, date/timestamps, attachments, formatting, and hyperlinks of any communications of any form or app on government or personal property between your agency and the SF Chronicle or Mission Local or other press about August 27 sweeps of homeless persons OR Newsom's participation therein
Please don't provide the same record over and over and take time doing that. I'm not sure why DPW keeps doing this. Sometimes I have 10 copies of the same record even though there were not 10 employees in DPW who could have sent or received that single email...
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.
Provide rolling response, SFAC 67.25(d).
Sincerely,
From: Department of Public Works
City and County of San Francisco

We received your public records request, dated Aug. 28, on Aug. 30. Public records requests received after the close of business, or received on a weekend or holiday, are considered received on the next business day.] You have requested the following records:
Pursuant to Mayor London Breed's Proclamation dated March 13, 2020, Sections 67.25(a) and 67.25(b) of the Administrative Code are suspended for the duration of the local emergency.
For this reason, we are treating your Immediate Disclosure Request as a standard public records request, subject to the normally applicable 10-day response time, with a possible extension. Our department will identify and compile the requested information.

Please note that during the current public health emergency, the department is not required to provide copies of records by this deadline but must notify the requester whether the records exist.
As you know, our department uses the NextRequest online records request system. You will receive an email from Nextrequest.com with instructions for following up on this request. Please note that it is not necessary to create a NextRequest account to view responsive records. Once they have been released, a link, valid for 30 days, will be provided to view the records. Additionally, unless privacy concerns prevent it, Public Works makes all records requests visible to the public. You may search for requests at https://sanfrancisco.nextrequest.com/.
Please note that the Public Records Act requires an agency to make available to any person a copy of an "identifiable record or records" in its possession, unless the record is specifically exempt from disclosure. (Please see California Government Code § 6253(b).) The City's obligation under the Sunshine Ordinance, like the Public Records Act, is to produce public records in its custody. (See San Francisco Administration Code § 67.20(b).) There is no requirement that a department or officer construct a document to meet the specifications of the request.
We will produce responsive records online through the NextRequest portal. However, if hard copies are needed, we can provide hard copies of any 8.5x11 documents that are made available to you at a cost of 10 cents per copy, as allowed by the San Francisco Administrative Code § 67.28(c). This section states "a fee not to exceed 10 cents per page may be charged." Postage is an additional cost.
In lieu of hard copies, we can burn the responsive records onto a CD at a rate of $1 per CD or load the responsive records onto a flash drive at a rate of $4 per flash drive. Fees for duplication are subject to change and postage is an additional cost.

Hi there
A message was sent to you regarding record request #21-4637:
We have conducted a diligent search for records responsive to your request. We have located responsive records, which we have released to you. Due to the need to continue searching, reviewing and redacting records, and your request to produce on a rolling basis, we will produce any additional responsive records as soon as reasonably possible on an incremental or rolling basis.
Please note the following:
* Public Works does not conduct "sweeps of homeless persons," so we have interpreted that portion of your request to mean a cleanup of an area of the Mission District that happened that day.
* We believe the event that you are referring to was coordinated by the Healthy Streets Operation Center, so we suggest you contact that agency, through DEM, for possible additional records.
Regards,
David A. Steinberg

Thanks David.
Please have whoever produced https://sanfrancisco.nextrequest.com/documents/8486168 to produce the list of 9 people in that message. It should be available by clicking on that "9 People >" arrow.
I've already gotten an SOTF order that the senders and recipients of text messages must be produced before, see SOTF Order 19098.
There's really no need to go through repeated SOTF complaints on stuff that is this simple.

Hi there
Record request #21-4637 has been closed and published. The closure reason supplied was:
We have conducted a diligent search for records responsive to your request. We have located responsive records and are releasing them to you.
If you have trouble accessing the files, we can burn the responsive records onto a CD at a rate of $1 per CD or load the responsive records onto a flash drive at a rate of $4 per flash drive. Fees for duplication are subject to change and postage is an additional cost.
If hard copies are needed, we can provide hard copies of any 8.5x11 documents that are made available to you at a cost of 10 cents per copy, as allowed by the San Francisco Administrative Code § 67.28(c). This section states "a fee not to exceed 10 cents per page may be charged." Postage is an additional cost.
The Public Records Act requires an agency to make available to any person a copy of an “identifiable record or records” in its possession, unless the record is specifically exempt from disclosure. (Please see California Government Code § 6253(b).) The City’s obligation under the Sunshine Ordinance, like the Public Records Act, is to produce public records in its custody. (See San Francisco Administration Code § 67.20(b).) There is no requirement that a department or officer construct a document to meet the specifications of the request.
Due to privacy concerns, personal information, such as personal phone numbers, cell numbers and email addresses, has been redacted from the documents that we are making available to you. We redacted this personal information pursuant to Section 6254(c) and Section 6254(k) of the California Public Records Act and Article 1, Section 1 of the California Constitution.
It is not necessary to create a NextRequest account to view responsive records. Once they have been released, a link, valid for 30 days, will be provided to view the records. Additionally, unless privacy concerns prevent it, Public Works makes all records requests visible to the public. You may search for requests at https://sanfrancisco.nextrequest.com/.
This concludes your public records request.
