Communications
From: SF
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
We request under the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance (Ordinance) and the California Public Records Act (CPRA):
All communications with or pertaining to Mission Neighborhood Centers from March 1, 2022 to July 4, 2022 from or to the Department of Public Works.
All communications between the Department of Public Works and the Tenderloin Housing Clinic during the dates specified above.
All communications between the Department of Public Works and Tenderloin Community Benefits District during the dates specified above.
All communications between the Department of Public Works and San Francisco Chronicle reporter JK Dineen within the dates specified above.
Message-Id’s should uniquely identify a particular email on your email servers/services. These may be emails the City sent or received.
We remind you of your obligations to provide electronic records in the original format you hold them in. Therefore, e-mails exported in the .eml or .msg format with all non-exempt headers, metadata, attachments, etc. are best.
However, if you choose to convert emails, for example, to PDF or printed format, to easily redact them, you must ensure that you have preserved the full content of the original email record (as specified in request "A"), which contains many detailed headers beyond the generally used From/To/Subject/Sent/etc. If you instead provide PDFs or printed emails with only a few of the headers or lacking attachments/images, and therefore withhold the other headers/attachments without justification, you may be in violation of SF Admin Code 67.26, 67.27, Govt Code 6253(a),6253.9, and/or 6255, and we may challenge your decision
If our request is denied in whole or in part, we ask that you justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the law. We will also expect you to release all segregable portions of otherwise exempt material. We reserve the right to appeal your decision to withhold any information or deny a waiver of fees.
Though this request is not burdensome, especially from a technical perspective, we request that all records be made available on a rolling basis, rather than all at once when matching records are available.
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,
SF
From: Department of Public Works
City and County of San Francisco

A message was sent to you regarding record request #22-3899:
We received your public records request, dated July 5, on July 6. 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:
* All communications with or pertaining to Mission Neighborhood Centers from March 1, 2022 to July 4, 2022 from or to the Department of Public Works.
* All communications between the Department of Public Works and the Tenderloin Housing Clinic during the dates specified above.
* All communications between the Department of Public Works and Tenderloin Community Benefits District during the dates specified above.
* All communications between the Department of Public Works and San Francisco Chronicle reporter JK Dineen within the dates specified above.
Our department will identify and compile the requested information. The Sunshine Ordinance requires departments to respond as soon as possible or within 10 calendar days from receipt of any records requests. Therefore, we will contact you as soon as the responsive documents are ready for you to view and will do so on or before ______, as permitted by San Francisco Administrative Code § 67.21(b) and California Government Code § 6253(c).

************************************************************************
A message was sent to you regarding record request #22-3899:
We estimate that the volume of responsive emails would take about a decade to review, redact and release to you.
California courts have determined that public records laws do not impose absolute requirements upon governmental agencies, and are subject to an implied rule of reason. The scope of your request and volume of records it covers will place a huge and unreasonable burden on this department in locating and reviewing responsive records, and will make it impossible for us to comply with the request in a reasonably prompt manner. We invite you to narrow your request, so that we might fully respond to the request within a reasonably prompt time frame. The department is available to assist you in modifying your request.
We will proceed with the portion of your request that seeks communications with JK Dineen, because that can be accomplished in a reasonable amount of time. Please let us know how you would like to proceed with the balance of your request.
Regards,
David A. Steinberg

Without more detail, I fail to see how this could be as onerous as described. We are talking about an eight week period. We are appealing this finding and request a review of all materials to provide an accurate assessment of how long it would take to review and redact this information.
We will request the immediate released of the materials on Dineen correspondence as promised.

A message was sent to you regarding record request #22-3899:
We have nearly completed our review of the emails with JK Dineen, but cannot assure that we would be able to finish them today. For that reason, we are invoking the 14-day extension that is legally available under the California Public Records Act.
Further, we have not received any further direction from you in response to our communication about the more voluminous portions of your request. As we stated, the volume of records would take a decade or so to review, redact and release, so we would need you to narrow the scope of your request. We are available to help you with this process.

For the remaining items:
* All communications with or pertaining to Mission Neighborhood Centers from March 1, 2022 to July 4, 2022 from or to the Department of Public Works. We have identified more than 11,000 records, which we estimate would take us more than five years to review, redact and release.
