Pursuant to the Sunshine Ordinance and CPRA, I hereby request the following records as 6 Immediate Discloure Requests from your agency, from COFAM, and from FAMF:
1. all legal/contractual relationships between your agency (or the City as a whole) and Corporation of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (COFAM)
2. all legal/contractual relationships between your agency (or the City as a whole) and Fine Arts Museums Foundation (FAMF)
3. all records of how city employees use IT systems owned or operated by FAMF and/or COFAM
4. all records of how city employees retain records owned, used, or prepared by the city agency, but stored on IT systems owned or operated by FAMF and/or COFAM
5. the last 10 emails from , and the last 10 emails to, Diane B. Wilsey, President, on their official AND personal email (under City of San Jose v Superior Court (2017)) re: the public's business
6. the last 10 emails from , and the last 10 emails to, Belva Davis, Vice President, on their official AND personal email (under City of San Jose v Superior Court (2017)) re: the public's business
We remind you of your obligations to provide electronic records in any format we request them in, as long that format is available to you OR easy to generate (Admin Code 67.21(l)). Therefore, emails exported in the .eml or .msg format with all non-exempt headers, metadata, attachments, etc. are best.
If you choose to convert documents, for example, to PDF or printed format (even though we have specifically requested .eml or .msg formats), to easily redact them, you must still ensure that you have preserved the full content of the original conversation record, which contains many detailed headers beyond the generally used From/To/Subject/Sent/etc.
If you send PDFs, please use only text/search PDFs, not images.
If on the City Attorney's advice or for other reasons, you redact portions of the metadata/headers, please specifically justify each such redaction with a legal citation (statute, ordinance, or case law).
If you provide PDFs or printed conversations or give us only a few of the headers or exclude attachments/images, and therefore withhold the other headers/attachments without proper justification, you may be in violation of SF Admin Code 67.21, 67.26, 67.27, Govt Code 6253(a), 6253.9, and/or 6255, and we may challenge your decision in court, before the Supervisor of Records, and/or the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force. I have various cases proceeding before the SOTF and Sup. of Records, and intend to vigourously enforce the public's right to record disclosure.
Please provide only those copies of records available without any fees. If you determine certain records would require fees, please instead provide the required (free) notice of which of those records are available and non-exempt for inspection in-person if we so choose.
Remember you must inform us whether there are are no responsive records, some fully disclosed records, some fully withheld records, or some partially disclosed/partially withheld/redacted records for each of the individual requests.
Sincerely,
Anonymous

Dear Sir/Madam,
The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco received your Immediate Disclosure
Request, dated September 7, 2019, on September 10. 2019. You have
requested the following records:
“Pursuant to the Sunshine Ordinance and CPRA, I hereby request the
following records as 6 Immediate Disclosure Requests from your agency, from
COFAM, and from FAMF:
1. All legal/contractual relationships between your agency (or the City as
a whole) and Corporation of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (COFAM)
2. All legal/contractual relationships between your agency (or the City as
a whole) and Fine Arts Museums Foundation (FAMF)
3. All records of how city employees use IT systems owned or operated by
FAMF and/or COFAM
4. All records of how city employees retain records owned, used, or
prepared by the city agency, but stored on IT systems owned or operated by
FAMF and/or COFAM
5. The last 10 emails from, and the last 10 emails to, Diane B. Wilsey,
President, on their official AND personal email (under City of San Jose v
Superior Court (2017)) re: the public's business
6. The last 10 emails from, and the last 10 emails to, Belva Davis, Vice
President, on their official AND personal email (under City of San Jose v
Superior Court (2017)) re: the public's business”
On behalf of the City Department, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
(FAMSF), please find attached the document responsive to request 1 and 2
(FAMSF Board Resolution of January 2018). The FAMSF does not have records
responsive to requests 3 and 4.
As for records request 5 and 6, although you labeled your requests as an
Immediate Disclosure Request, it is not “simple, routine, or otherwise
readily answerable,” as is required by San Francisco Administrative Code
Section 67.25(a). For this reason, FAMSF is treating your IDR as a
standard public records request, subject to the normally applicable 10 days
response time, with a possible extension. Accordingly, FAMSF will be in
touch with you regarding these records no later than September 20, 2019.
However, FAMSF will endeavor to fulfill your request as soon as possible.
Thank you,
On behalf of FAMSF,

I want to be certain I understand your response. The entirety of ALL contracts between the City agency and COFAM or FAMF is a 1-page memorandum of understanding with no detail whatsoever? There are literally no other legal agreements?
From: Fine Arts Museums Of San Francisco
Dear Sir/Madam,
Your request was interpreted to capture current, legal agreements.
However, I am attaching a 2002 agreement between CCSF, through the FAMSF
Board of Trustees, and FAMF, which is no longer effective.

I have seen the various numerous arguments your agency has had with Mr. Smith before the SOTF. I have no idea why the relationship between a city agency and COFAM and FAMF is simultaneously so interlocked/complex but also completely non-transparent, and I will be taking a fresh look at forcing the city to legally turn over all public records associated with this relationship, no matter where they are, whether at the Task Force or in Superior Court.
Keep in mind you must turn over all documents prepared, owned, used, OR retained by your agency. So if the City ever prepared or used the records, you must turn them over whether or not they are owned or retained by your agency (as it appears you seem to believe FAMF/COFAM own or retain them instead of you). City of San Jose vs Superior Court (2017) is very clear that individual employees cannot shield records from disclosure by putting them on private property; there is no way that entire corporations can shield public records from disclosure by putting them on private property.
This is a further IMMEDIATE DISCLOSURE REQUEST from FAMSF, from FAMF, and from COFAM:
1. full employee directory with name, title, and email of all FAMSF employees
2. full employee directory with name, title, and email of all FAMF employees
3. full employee directory with name, title, and email of all COFAM employees
4. full officer/board/trustees directory with name, title, and email of all FAMSF officers/board/trustees
5. full officer/board/trustees directory with name, title, and email of all FAMF officers/board/trustees
6. full officer/board/trustees directory with name, title, and email of all COFAM officers/board/trustees
If any FAMSF city employee possesses any of the records about FAMF or COFAM employees/officers you must turn them over.
The relevant question is NOT what the content or topic of the records is - the only issue is whether the City prepared, owned, used, or retained the records. If any City employee has used any of this information you must turn it over.

Good Morning Supervisor of Records,
You may disregard the petition #79999 sent late last night from this email address (79999-SupervisorPetition-20190912-b.pdf), and replace it with the attached amended one (79999-SupervisorPetition-20190912-rev2.pdf).

Once you send them to us, there's no going back. **
First, I have attached as a courtesy a Sup. of Records petition filed earlier today against your agency FAMSF. I intend to appeal any of your records withholdings or failure to provide records under the guise that they are COFAM or FAMF records at every available level of remedy, whether Sup. of Records, SOTF, or Superior Court.
Second, this is a yet further set of IMMEDIATE DISCLOSURE REQUESTS for each of the following, from each of FAMSF, COFAM, and FAMF:
a) all correspondence (including all attachments, exhibits, memos, metadata, headers, emails, physical mail/notes, text, SMS, MMS, or any chat app messages, and in their original electronic format or scan of physical documents) between FAMSF* (the asterisk here and below means this request includes each and every employee, board member, or officer in addition to the entity as a whole, and also requires a City of San Jose v Superior Court (2017) search of private property for records re: the public's business) and Robert M. Smith between Jan. 1, 2018 and Sept. 12 2019 (inclusive)
b) all correspondence (including all attachments, exhibits, memos, metadata, headers, emails, physical mail/notes, text, SMS, MMS, or any chat app messages, and in their original electronic format or scan of physical documents) between COFAM* and Mr. Smith between Jan. 1, 2018 and Sept. 12 2019 (inclusive)
c) all correspondence (including all attachments, exhibits, memos, metadata, headers, emails, physical mail/notes, text, SMS, MMS, or any chat app messages, and in their original electronic format or scan of physical documents) between FAMF* and Mr. Smith between Jan. 1, 2018 and Sept. 12 2019 (inclusive)
d) all correspondence (including all attachments, exhibits, memos, metadata, headers, emails, physical mail/notes, text, SMS, MMS, or any chat app messages, and in their original electronic format or scan of physical documents) between FAMSF* and COFAM* re: {Mr. Smith or his requests/complaints, or the Sunshine Ordinance, or CPRA} between Jan. 1, 2018 and Sept. 12 2019 (inclusive). Use the following case insensitive query: "smith" OR "cpra" OR "sunshine"
e) all correspondence between FAMSF* and FAMF* re: {Mr. Smith or his requests/complaints, or the Sunshine Ordinance, or CPRA} Jan. 1, 2018 and Sept. 12 2019 (inclusive). Use the following case insensitive query: "smith" OR "cpra" OR "sunshine"
f) all correspondence (including all attachments, exhibits, memos, metadata, headers, emails, physical mail/notes, text, SMS, MMS, or any chat app messages, and in their original electronic format or scan of physical documents) between FAMSF* and the City Attorney's office* or Sup. of Records' office*, between Jan. 1, 2018 and Sept. 12 2019 (inclusive). I anticipate you may use Attorney-Client privilege as a shield here. However: the City has waived the privilege if you already provided any of these communications to anyone else, whether that anyone is Mr. Smith or private entities COFAM or FAMF. If you waived the privilege by providing the record to member of the public Mr. Smith, that record is now permanently a public record and you must also give it to me (Gov Code 6254.5). If FAMF or COFAM or their employees have the purportedly privileged communication (for example by including them in an email thead or cc-ing or bcc-ing or forwarding the message to them), you also have waived the privilege and must provide me the documents. If the City's argument for privilege is that the City Attorney is also representing FAMF or COFAM, then also produce records of such a contract (your MOU says no such thing) and every associated invoice (which is not protected by privilege). If no such contract exists, and the representation is provided for free by the City to these private entities, a variety of other statutes regarding use of public funds for a private purpose may be in play.
g) all correspondence (including all attachments, exhibits, memos, metadata, headers, emails, physical mail/notes, text, SMS, MMS, or any chat app messages, and in their original electronic format or scan of physical documents) between COFAM* and the City Attorney's office* or Sup. of Records' office*, between Jan. 1, 2018 and Sept. 12 2019 (inclusive).
h) all correspondence (including all attachments, exhibits, memos, metadata, headers, emails, physical mail/notes, text, SMS, MMS, or any chat app messages, and in their original electronic format or scan of physical documents) between FAMF* and the City Attorney's office* or Sup. of Records' office*, between Jan. 1, 2018 and Sept. 12 2019 (inclusive).
I would like to remind you that you need to indicate for each request above and in all our messages, whether you did or did not have responsive records (separate from whether or not you withheld them). Remember any record retained, owned, used, or prepared by FAMSF must be included. If a city employee possesses a COFAM or FAMF document, you must disclose it. If COFAM or FAMF are holding records prepared or used by FAMSF, you must disclose it. You also must justify each and every withholding or redaction with particularity. Use footnotes or inline markings for example.
At this point you have #5 and #6 from the Sept. 10 requests, the employee directories from earlier today, and these 8 requests above in the pipeline.
We remind you of your obligations to provide electronic records in any format we request them in, as long that format is available to you OR easy to generate (Admin Code 67.21(l)). Therefore, emails exported in the .eml or .msg format with all non-exempt headers, metadata, attachments, etc. are best.
If you choose to convert documents, for example, to PDF or printed format (even though we have specifically requested .eml or .msg formats), to easily redact them, you must still ensure that you have preserved the full content of the original conversation record, which contains many detailed headers beyond the generally used From/To/Subject/Sent/etc.
If you send PDFs, please use only text/search PDFs, not image/scanned PDFs. You must make exact copies of records under the CPRA - do not exclude color, formatting, images, or any other content that may be lost by printing and scanning records incorrectly.
If on the City Attorney's advice or for other reasons, you redact portions of the records, please specifically justify each such redaction with a legal citation (statute, ordinance, or case law). If you withhold metadata/headers, even if you don't visually redact them, you are still withholding and must justify it. If you provide PDFs or printed conversations or give us only a few of the headers or exclude attachments/images, and therefore withhold the other headers/attachments without proper justification, you may be in violation of SF Admin Code 67.21, 67.26, 67.27, Govt Code 6253(a), 6253.9, and/or 6255, and we may challenge your decision in court, before the Supervisor of Records, and/or the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force.
In all cases, please provide only those copies of records available without any fees. If you determine certain records would require fees, please instead provide the required (free) notice of which of those records are available and non-exempt for inspection in-person if we so choose.

A formal complaint will be filed shortly regarding the City's withholding of documents.
Please note that you have until Sept. 17 and 19 to provide your statement re: existence/non-existence, quantity, form of each set of records requested, even if you believe the contents are exempt (see SFAC 67.21(c)).
Also, I am not asking you to answer on behalf of COFAM or FAMF. But if FAMSF prepared, owned, used, or retained any of those communications between COFAM and FAMF and other parties (for example, if any City employee was forwarded any of those, or CC-ed them, or has any copy of them), you must disclose them. Please read the definition of a "public record" in CPRA. You did not actually state that there were no responsive records, merely that you will not respond for other entities, which makes me quite suspicious.
Finally, not all of your communications with the City Attorney are privileged. I believe you have shared some of them with Mr. Smith and/or COFAM or FAMF. If so, you have waived the privilege, and I am owed those documents.
Thanks,

Dear Sir/Ma'am,
Regarding your Request #13, pursuant to California Government Code Section
6253(c), FAMSF is invoking an extension of up to 14 days (until October 7)
because of the voluminous nature of the request.
Regarding your Request #16, pursuant to California Government Code Section
6253(c), FAMSF is invoking an extension of up to 14 days (until October 7)
because of the need to consult with another department.
In addition, it has come to my attention, regarding your Request #1 for all
contracts between FAMSF (or the City as a whole) and COFAM, that there is
one additional responsive document. However, that document is being
withheld due to privacy concerns. Cal. Const. Art. 1 § 1; Cal. Govt.
Code § 6254(c); San Francisco Admin. Code § 67.1(g); San Francisco Admin

To Whom It May Concern:
We write to provide an update on the status of our consideration of your petitions. Since September 6, you have submitted five separate petitions to the Supervisor of Records and numerous other email communications concerning prior petitions. We have already responded to four other petitions you submitted in recent months.
Due to the volume of petitions and the complexity of the issues raised, we are invoking the rule of reason and will respond to your petitions within a reasonable time period with the goal of addressing each petition within 30 days of submission. We understand you disagree with this basis. As we recently explained in response to one of your complaints with the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force, we strive to respond to petitions within the 10-day period specified in Section 67.21(d), but we don’t view it as an absolute deadline. Particularly here, where the issues raised are novel and you have submitted numerous petitions over a short time period, responding within 10 days is not feasible because doing so would unreasonably impinge on our ability to perform our other responsibilities.
Thank you for previously providing your stated preference in terms of prioritization.

Supervisor of Records,
Attached is a further petition re: FAMSF (I sent you a FAMSF petition " #79999– Rev. 2" on Sept. 12, and it remains pending).
It is much smaller in scope than the others -- for exactly one contract between the city and COFAM, being withheld in entirety for privacy reasons.
Sincerely,

Dear Sir/Madam,
On September 23, you were informed that a document responsive to Request #1
(all contracts between FAMSF (or the City as a whole) and COFAM) was being
withheld due to privacy concerns. Cal. Const. Art. 1 § 1; Cal. Govt.
Code § 6254(c); San Francisco Admin. Code § 67.1(g); San Francisco Admin
Code Chapter 12M.2. The basis for withholding has been updated to also
include attorney-client privilege. Cal. Govt. Code §§ 6254(k), 6276.04;
Cal. Evid. Code §§ 950 et seq.
And do you have a mailing address for FAMSF to send a thumbdrive,
containing records responsive to Request #13?
Thank you,

** Please redact your responses correctly! This is a public mailbox, and all of your responses (including emails, attachments, file shares, and the disclosed records) may be automatically and instantly available to the general public on the MuckRock.com service used to issue this request (though I am not a MuckRock representative). Once you send them to us, there's no going back. **
1) These justifications make no sense. A contract is between 2 or more parties. Attorney-client privilege does not exist when a party includes another party, who is not their attorney, on a communication. There is no legitimate way an entire contract between the City and COFAM, a private corporation that is not a law firm, can be shielded by personal privacy or attorney-client privilege. You must disclose every part of the contract that is not purportedly privileged or involving personal privacy, and redact the rest. Remember Sunshine Ordinance requires disclosure of even the smallest amount of non-exempt portion of a record.
2) Please merely email the records. I do not wish to provide a mailing address. You can split it into multiple emails if you need to. Alternatively you could use a file share service (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) . Also, if you publish the records to your public website, you may provide me just a URL.
Thanks,

Thank you for your response Mr. Russi.
Please note a similar request to the City Attorney's office turned over a document captioned "Agreement Governing Reimbursement 2002-2003" between FAMSF and COFAM. To my knowledge FAMSF has not turned over such record. Therefore it is a record, withheld by FAMSF, that is a public record, and I would like a determination as such, and an order to FAMSF to immediately disclose it.
From: twitter.com/journo_anon Public Records Requester
To be clear, the below was *already* part of our prior petitions against FAMSF re: their agreements. However if for some reason you aren't considering it that way, then this is a subsequent 67.21(d) petition.
"Please note a similar request to the City Attorney's office turned over a document captioned "Agreement Governing Reimbursement 2002-2003" between FAMSF and COFAM. To my knowledge FAMSF has not turned over such record. Therefore it is a record, withheld by FAMSF, that is a public record, and I would like a determination as such, and an order to FAMSF to immediately disclose it."
Remember that 67.21(d) imposes not ONLY a 10 day requirement, but ALSO an "as soon as possible" requirement - given that your office should have already investigated this request, it should not take you 10 days.

In preparation for publishing my story on the audit of San Francisco public records compliance, I will also be sampling your records of past controversies.
This is a further immediate disclosure request for every single email or physically written communication prepared, owned, used, or retained by your agency mentioning any of these persons, or to/from any of these persons, from Jan. 2016 to present, on the business AND personal: email, text, MMS, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, WeChat, Twitter, and all other online chat accounts of the Chair Emerita, the President, the CEO, and the Manager of Board Relations. You must perform a City of San Jose v Superior Court search for each of the 4 people mentioned above as well.
1. Bernard Osher ,
2. Jack McDonald ,
3. Louise Renne ,
4. Joe Cotchett ,
5. Bill Huggins ,
6. Therese Chen ,
This is also a 67.21(c) request for quantity, nature, form statements for each of these 6 requests for each of 4 custodians (24 statements), in 7 days without extension.
We remind you of your obligations to provide electronic records in any format we request them in, as long that format is available to you OR easy to generate (Admin Code 67.21(l)). Therefore, emails exported in the .eml or .msg format with all non-exempt headers, metadata, attachments, etc. are best.
If you choose to convert documents, for example, to PDF or printed format (even though we have specifically requested .eml or .msg formats), to easily redact them, you must still ensure that you have preserved the full content of the original conversation record, which contains many detailed headers beyond the generally used From/To/Subject/Sent/etc.
If you send PDFs, please use only text/search PDFs, not images.
Do not physically print and scan records (see SOTF 19047).
If on the City Attorney's advice or for other reasons, you redact portions of the metadata/headers, please specifically justify each such redaction with a legal citation (statute, ordinance, or case law).
If you provide PDFs or printed conversations or give us only a few of the headers or exclude attachments/images, and therefore withhold the other headers/attachments without proper justification, you may be in violation of SF Admin Code 67.21, 67.26, 67.27, Govt Code 6253(a), 6253.9, and/or 6255, and we may challenge your decision in court, before the Supervisor of Records, and/or the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force. I have various cases proceeding before the SOTF and Sup. of Records, and intend to vigorously enforce the public's right to record disclosure.
Please provide only those copies of records available without any fees. If you determine certain records would require fees, please instead provide the required (free) notice of which of those records are available and non-exempt for inspection in-person if we so choose.
Remember you must inform us whether there are are no responsive records, some fully disclosed records, some fully withheld records, or some partially disclosed/partially withheld/redacted records for each of the individual requests.

Sir/Ma'am,
In response to your request for follow up information, which we received on
October 9, although you labeled your request as an Immediate Disclosure
Request, it is not “simple, routine, or otherwise readily answerable,” as
is required by San Francisco Administrative Code Section 67.25(a). 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. Accordingly, we will be in touch with you
regarding the request by no later than October 21.

RE: Reopening a 67.21(d) petition
Sup. of Records,
You previously stated "FAMSF has stated it does not have a copy of this document."
However contracts like ""Agreement Governing Reimbursement 2002-2003"" must be preserved for 20 years per FAMSF retention policy (https://index.sfgov.org/taxonomy/term/50).
Please have them re-search. If they don't have it, they may be violating their retention policy and/or SF AC 67.29-7.

From: twitter.com/journo_anon Public Records Requester
Thanks - FAMSF hasn't produced records regarding FAMSF/City employees using IT systems run by FAMF/COFAM. An agent of FAMSF represented at a public SOTF hearing on Sept. 4 that the City agency uses domains, email and document servers, owned and operated
by these private entities (see https://sanfrancisco.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=
95&clip_id=33934, audio discussion starting at 4hr 15min 01sec.). These records must exist.
FAMSF appers to believe these are not public records because they may be retained on a private non profits servers, even though they would be used by city employees.
