Communications
From: Brooke Williams
Dear San Marcos City Clerk,
Pursuant to the California's Sunshine Amendment (Cal. Const. Art. I, § 3(b)), I hereby request the following records, which I understand to be in possession of agencies within your city that have, in any way, contracted or otherwise hired Helix Environmental:
Any and all documents, including but not limited to invoices and contracts that mention, refer to and/or discuss Sarichia Cacciatore, otherwise known as Seekey Cacciatore, a current or former employee of Helix Environmental. Please include but not limit this request to the following search terms: “Sarichia Cacciatore”, “Seekey Cacciatore,” “Seekey,” “seekeyc@helixepi.com,” “seekey@briggslawcorp.com,” and “seekey.cacciatore@gmail.com.”
2) Any and all communication between any city employee of a San Marcos agency that has contracted with or currently contracts with (or in any way hires) Helix Environmental and Sarichia Cacciatore.
This request is narrow by nature, as it seeks public records pertaining to only one individual at one company that does business with the city. It doesn’t include a time frame, and I ask that you please search your records as far back in time as they exist.
Please provide these documents as they are compiled.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of our work at inewsource, a nonprofit investigative journalism center. I am a member of the press, and this request is not being made for commercial usage.
I ask that you please provide the records in their original, electronic format.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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 time and commitment to an open and transparent government process. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Brooke Williams

Hi, Lori,
It was nice to meet you on the phone today. Thanks again for your help. As we discussed, if you could please send me the FTP info to access the four contracts that are responsive to my request, I will review those and then likely ask a colleague who is based locally to come in person to review the invoices and project files. Please don't hesitate to call with any questions.
I look forward to receiving the FTP info and reviewing the contracts.
Thanks again,
Brooke
