RE: the DEC 7 IMMEDIATE DISCLOSURE REQUEST from this email address
Please note: "Exact copies" are requested for all records pursuant to CPRA Gov Code 6253(c).
Please email all records, or publish them to your own website/portal (as long as the URL is accessible without any login), or upload them and publish them to MuckRock.com directly using the auto-generated link in the footer below. Do not physically mail any records.
Provide only those copies available without fees - if you believe certain copies require fees, instead provide the required notice of which records are available for in-person inspection.
Your response is still required by Dec. 10, 2019. Rolling records responses were requested (67.25(d)).

Since these dates are more than 3 business days prior to this request, you must immediately provide them. You may use any format to provide this calendar as long as it provides at least the location, exact start and end times, general description of topics, and (as required by 67.29-5) identity of meeting participants for every meeting.

We have conducted a diligent search for records responsive to your request. We have located responsive records, which are attached. These records are being produced in a PDF format and requested metadata is being withheld to protect the integrity and security of the original record and to avoid the unwarranted disclosure of data that could pose a risk to the city's systems and network and/or the inadvertent disclosure of exempt confidential or privileged information. See Cal. Gov. Code Secs. 6253.9 (a)(1), (f); 6254.19.
For Items 1-7, we have withheld records and/or redacted parts of the records responsive to your request on the basis of personal privacy. California Government Code Section 6254 (c) and 6254 (k), California Constitution Article 1 Sec.1 and California Revenue and Taxation Code – RTC § 408. In regard to Item 3, we have withheld a record of two meetings with the Mayor to protect the Mayor’s security. Gov’t Code § 6254(f); Gov’t Code § 6254(k); Evid. Code. § 1040; Times Mirror Company v. Superior Court, 53 Cal.3d 1325 (1991). In regard in Items 4, we have withheld 1 outgoing personnel e-mail to Human Resources. Gov’t Code § 6254(c). In regard in Item 6, we have withheld 2 outgoing personnel e-mails to Human Resources. Gov’t Code § 6254(c). Lastly in regard to Items 1 and 2, we have redacted recurrence information concerning the department head meeting with the Mayor dated November 13, 2019, to protect the Mayor’s security. Gov’t Code § 6254(f); Gov’t Code § 6254(k); Evid. Code. § 1040; Times Mirror Company v. Superior Court, 53 Cal.3d 1325 (1991).

Ms. Chu,
Thank you for your timely and thorough response.
However, we believe this response violates the Sunshine Ordinance/CPRA
in various ways (see attached document).
We are performing checks on the Sunshine practices of various
SF agencies using a standardized request.
In lieu of the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force complaints process
of hearings, findings of violations, and Order of Determination,
we'd like to offer a compromise. The result of such a compromise in lieu of
complaints would be a signed letter published online by the Department Head,
admitting that the Department inadvertently violated certain
Sunshine/CPRA provisions, but has, as of the execution of the letter,
corrected its public records procedures in specified ways, along
with a copy of the updated procedures document.
If you would like to negotiate such a compromise, please let us
know by email.
We have various pending SOTF cases regarding exemptions of: metadata,
non-PDF documents, future Mayoral meetings, citation of Times
Mirror, so your action is not required for those specific issues at
this time. If we win those cases at SOTF or in Superior Court, we will
ask your agency to meet those requirements, later, as well.
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).

RE: BCC Emails - Immediate Disclosure Request
Department Head:
Below are new Immediate Disclosure Requests (SF Admin Code 67.25(a)) directed to your agency and the department head. Your response is required by Feb 11, 2020. Rolling records responses are requested (SFAC 67.25(d)) if you are unable to immediately produce records. Exact copies of every responsive record are requested (Gov Code 6253(b)) - do not: provide mere URLs, print and scan electronic records, convert native files to PDFs, or provide black and white versions of any color record. Provide only copies of records not requiring fees and in-person inspection of all other records (GC 6253). Emails are requested in the easily-generated EML or MSG formats (SFAC 67.21(l)).
I am now auditing how the City appears to unlawfully withhold the BCC recipients of emails when they print out emails in certain formats. The identity of BCC recipients is not exempt. BCC is not an information security record that reveals vulnerabilities or increases chance of an attack. The BCC names was typed in by a human being and are not metadata. You must provide BCC just like you provide To or CC recipients. There is no legal authority to keep secret the identities of persons communicating with government officials, unless they are specifically confidential informants and such. If you withhold the BCC names, I will file complaints, separate and apart from email metadata complaints (which I have now already won, see ruling in SOTF 19044).
Your non-exhaustive obligations: All withholding of any information must be justified in writing (SFAC 67.27). All withholdings by masking or deletion (aka redactions) must be keyed by footnote or other clear reference to the specific justification for that redaction, and only the minimal exempt portion of any record may be withheld (SFAC 67.26). You must respond to emailed requests (SFAC 67.21(b)). You must notify us of whether or not responsive records exist and/or were withheld for each below request (Gov Code 6253(c), 6255(b)). You must state the name and title of each person responsible for withholding any information (Gov Code 6253(d)). Do not impose any end-user restrictions upon me (Santa Clara Co. vs Superior Ct, 170 Cal.App 4th 1301); so if you use a third-party website to publish records, please make them completely public without any login or sign-in.
Your agency must do all of the above things in your response, and you cannot wait until we file complaints.
****** We have no duty to, and we will not again, remind the City of its obligations. Instead, we will file complaints for every Sunshine Ordinance or CPRA violation. We will continue to file complaints until the City's procedures are modified to fully comply with the Sunshine Ordinance and CPRA, without caveat or exception. ******
1. An exact copy with all email headers (incl. but not limited to the BCC identities), attachments, color, formatting, hyperlinks, images, and all other parts of the record of the most recent 5 emails which have any BCC recipients which were sent by your Dept Head on any government account . Note that you will have to search directly from the person's computer or account in their Sent folder specifically (In many email systems, no other method will allow you to see the BCC recipients). In modern Outlook systems, the search query is as follows: (bcc:*)
Do not destroy or discard any responsive records - we will appeal all withholdings or Sunshine violations.
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.
