To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
I am requesting all information relating to an anti-racism training session that took place the week of April 29, 2024, including the PowerPoint and/or other presentations given by Karen Fleshman and her firm Racy Conversations (http://racyconversations.com/mission-bio).
I am also requesting the contract and terms of Fleshman’s consulting/contracting agreement with SFMTA to include a copy of said contract and all of its terms including financial terms/ payments.
Also please include how Fleshman was chosen to teach this session as well as any other sessions she has taught or will be teaching.
This is a new Immediate Disclosure Requests (SF Admin Code 67.25(a)) directed to your agency and its department head. Your response is required by May 8, 2024.
Rolling responses are requested (SFAC 67.25(d)) if you are unable to immediately produce records. You must provide exact copies of every responsive record. Do not: print and scan electronic records, provide only the final message in a thread instead of the entire thread, convert native files to PDFs, combine or merge multiple records together, 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).
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 request below (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 website to publish records, please make them completely public without any login, sign-in, or agreement to any type of terms of use or acceptable use policies.
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 each and 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.
PRESERVE AND DO NOT DESTROY ANY ORIGINALS OF RESPONSIVE RECORDS UNTIL THE FINAL ADJUDICATION OF ANY APPEALS - we will appeal all withholdings or Sunshine violations.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
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. 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.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
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.
Sincerely,
Belle Reve

A message was sent to you regarding record request #24-2817:
The purpose of the immediate disclosure request is to expedite the City’s response to a “simple, routine, or otherwise readily answerable request.” Admin. Code 67.25(a). The Sunshine Ordinance specifies that for more extensive or demanding requests, the maximum deadlines for responding to a request apply. Admin. Code § 67.25(a).
Thus, the requester’s designation of a request as an immediate disclosure request does not automatically make it so. Rather, a department may adhere to the time deadlines governing standard requests – an initial 10-day period for response, plus a possible extension of up to 14 additional days – if the extensive or demanding nature of the request would impose an undue burden on the department to respond immediately.
