RE: Open Data Implementation - Immediate Disclosure Request ( Department of Public Works )
Public Works,
Below are Immediate Disclosure Requests (SF Admin Code 67.25(a)). Your response is required by Jan 7, 2020. Rolling records responses are requested (SFAC 67.25(d)). Exact copies of every responsive record are requested (Gov Code 6253(b)) - do not provide mere URLs, or print and scan electronic records. 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 (SFAC 67.27). All withholdings by masking or deletion (aka redactions) must be keyed by footnote or other clear reference to justification and only the minimal exempt portion of a record may be withheld (SFAC 67.26). Provide records by email (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)).
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.
1. records identifying your agency's Data Coordinator (DC) under SFAC 22D.2(c)(3)
2. the Open Data plan prepared for your agency under SFAC 22D.2(c)(3)
3. any lists of data sets your agency makes publicly-available under SFAC 22D.2(c)(1)
4. any lists of and documentation for application programming interfaces your agency makes publicly-available under SFAC 22D.2(c)(4)(A)
5. the responses provided by your DC in CY 2019 to comments and public feedback under SFAC 22D.2(c)(4)(D)
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.

Please do not include any confidential information, as I intend that these communications with the City all be public records.
Sincerely,

From: Department of Public Works
I am confirming that we received your emailed Immediate Disclosure Request, dated Jan. 5, today. You have requested records related to Open Data Implementation.
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. In the future, please make requests for Public Works records online at: http://sfpublicworks.org/records.
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/.
Our department will identify and compile the requested information. The Sunshine Ordinance requires departments to respond to an Immediate Disclosure Request no later than the close of business the next business day. Therefore, we will contact you as soon as the responsive documents are ready for you to view and will do so on or before Jan. 7, as permitted by San Francisco Administrative Code § 67.25(a).
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
Record request #20-53 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.
Please note: Although we do not have any records under our control or possession that are responsive to Item 4 of your request, we believe that ArcGIS REST API documentation available online would provide the information you have requested. You can find this at https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/services-reference/get-started-with-the-services-directory.htm.
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.
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.
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.
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/.
This concludes your public records request.
