City Attorney:
This is a Sunshine/CPRA Immediate disclosure request for exact copies, in rolling fashion, of:
(a) all currently outstanding Sup. of Records petitions
(b) all logs, spreadsheets, task lists, or other database used to track supervisor of records petitions/responses
(c) all Sup of Records petitions closed (with any disposition) in CY 2020, and your office's responses
Do not exclude any records due to the perceived identity of the petitioner.
PDFs are an acceptable format of production.
Remember under SFAC 67.21(i): "All communications with the City Attorney's Office with regard to this ordinance ... shall be public records."
NOTE: THE EMAIL ADDRESS SENDING THIS REQUEST IS A PUBLICLY-VIEWABLE MAILBOX. Please be certain you have properly redacted all of your responses. Once you send them to us, there is no going back. 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.
Sincerely,

You may exclude the attached records you previously released.

All that is requested is the records and redaction keys - not any of the back and forth.

Thank you very much - is this response complete? I notice that the emails are being produced in memo form not as exact PDF copies in PDFMaker. Is that how they were produced to the earlier request? If not, please produce them however you produced them originally (with attachments, etc.).
If you did not produce them with that information earlier, then nothing more is needed.
From: San Francisco City Attorney
Dear requester,
Yes, our response is complete. The documents that we sent to you are in the same format as they were produced to the original requester.
