Please note: "Exact copies" are requested for all records pursuant to CPRA Gov Code 6253(c).
Please email all records, or publish them to your own website/portal (as long as the URL is accessible without any login), or upload them and publish them to MuckRock.com directly using the auto-generated link in the footer below. Do not physically mail any records.
Provide only those copies available without fees - if you believe certain copies require fees, instead provide the required notice of which records are available for in-person inspection.

Supervisor of Records,
This is a new 67.21(d) petition against DEM and Mary Ellen Carroll.
We made an IDR on Dec. 7 to maryellen.carroll@sfgov.org. It is Jan 4 and there is simply no email reply from DEM. The request is here: https://cdn.muckrock.com/outbound_composer_attachments/94383620Anonymous/78079/IDR-20191207-DEM.pdf
I can petition you "if the custodian refuses, fails to comply, or incompletely complies with a request".
That is what has happened here.
Please determine that all requested records are public, and order DEM to disclose them.
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.

DEM-
1st- Why has the SOTF 19132 response been sent to 'requests@muckrock.com' which is for a different set of complaints against the Mayor's office ? The complaint 19132 clearly states requests@muckrock.com . We will make further separate records requests regarding why you are using this email address and how you found it, presumably through coordination with the Mayor's Office.
2nd - You stated that you found the Dec 14 email in the Junk folder. If the original two Dec 7 (there were no Dec 10 emails, that is a typo) emails also went to MEC's junk folder, is it not possible that it was auto-deleted before you checked it? If DEM can represent in writing that all Junk folders were checked prior to auto-deletion OR that there is no auto-deletion policy, we can withdraw the complaint.
Sincerely,
Anonymous

SOTF FILE 19132
Unless DEM represents in writing that one of the following: either MEC's junk/spam folder has no auto-deletion policy OR that DEM specifically checked all of MEC's folders, including junk/spam for my two Dec 7 emails, PRIOR to their auto-deletion (if any); we will maintain our allegations.
We will make further records requests of the retention and deletion policies and logs in their Microsoft Outlook/Exchange system. We have the metadata of these email transmissions.
As the Task Force may know from a similar recent case, another agency in this same series of requests had to retract their claims of not receiving my requests because they did in fact go to the Dept Head's spam folder and they did not check properly prior to making spurious claims to SOTF.
Because the third Dec 14 email went to the Junk folder, I suspect the two Dec 7 emails probably did too. There are no Dec 10 emails - that is a typo.
We will also file separate complaints regarding the contents of DEM's records production.

We have now had two City departments, MTA and SFPD, forced to retract their claims that they did not receive my requests, for spam and "auto-sort" reasons, in SOTF 19133 and 19141 respectively. Previously, DT also had to walk-back such claims in SOTF 19094 due to their misconfigured filtering systems.
DEM and Mr. Lim - If you do not affirmatively make written representations as specified previously prior to 3:30pm today, we will initiate prior to close of business (i.e. counted against this business day) records requests for all electronic records that would trace exactly what has happened to my emails, your filtering and spam systems, retention policies, records destructions and more.
I do not intend to be deemed a liar.

Thank you but we need to understand if you have an auto-deletion on your director's junk/spam folder spam folder specifically. This is a common Outlook setting, and if set by default, would not have been manually set by her.

RE: BCC Emails - Immediate Disclosure Request
Department Head:
Below are new Immediate Disclosure Requests (SF Admin Code 67.25(a)) directed to your agency and the department head. Your response is required by Feb 11, 2020. Rolling records responses are requested (SFAC 67.25(d)) if you are unable to immediately produce records. Exact copies of every responsive record are requested (Gov Code 6253(b)) - do not: provide mere URLs, print and scan electronic records, convert native files to PDFs, 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). Emails are requested in the easily-generated EML or MSG formats (SFAC 67.21(l)).
I am now auditing how the City appears to unlawfully withhold the BCC recipients of emails when they print out emails in certain formats. The identity of BCC recipients is not exempt. BCC is not an information security record that reveals vulnerabilities or increases chance of an attack. The BCC names was typed in by a human being and are not metadata. You must provide BCC just like you provide To or CC recipients. There is no legal authority to keep secret the identities of persons communicating with government officials, unless they are specifically confidential informants and such. If you withhold the BCC names, I will file complaints, separate and apart from email metadata complaints (which I have now already won, see ruling in SOTF 19044).
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 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)). 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 third-party website to publish records, please make them completely public without any login or sign-in.
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 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. ******
1. An exact copy with all email headers (incl. but not limited to the BCC identities), attachments, color, formatting, hyperlinks, images, and all other parts of the record of the most recent 5 emails which have any BCC recipients which were sent by your Dept Head on any government account . Note that you will have to search directly from the person's computer or account in their Sent folder specifically (In many email systems, no other method will allow you to see the BCC recipients). In modern Outlook systems, the search query is as follows: (bcc:*)
Do not destroy or discard any responsive records - we will appeal all withholdings or Sunshine violations.
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. 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,
Anonymous

The Feb 8 2020 email from this address to DEM never had a response. This is a 67.21(d) petition to determine in writing the records public and order them disclosed.
