A message was sent to you regarding record request #22-137:

To ___Mr. Betts_______:

 

Pursuant to California Government Code section 6253(c), we write in response to the request dated ___June 27, 2022_______, that you sent to the County of Santa Cruz under the California Public Records Act, which was sent to the County via email (the “Requests”). We are submitting this response within the 10-day period for response set out in Government Code section 6253(c). We note that the Requests are limited only to records maintained in the normal course of business by the County and records that are in the County’s custody and control.

 

Please note that we will not produce records that are privileged or otherwise exempt from disclosure pursuant to California Government Code section 6254(k). This includes documents protected by the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product, and official information privileges.

 

No preliminary drafts or memorandum not normally kept in the ordinary course of business will be produced pursuant to California Government Code section 6254(a). Records concerning real estate appraisals for pending acquisitions are also exempt from disclosure under California Government Code section 6254(h).

 

We will not produce documents that are subject to copyright protections, contain trade secrets, and/or proprietary and/or confidential information. See California Government Code sections 6253.9, 6254(k), 6254.9; California Evidence Code section 1060.

 

Moreover, we will not produce documents exempt from disclosure under the deliberative process privilege. See Times Mirror Co. v. Superior Court (1991) 53 Cal.3d 1325. 

 

No documents will be produced where “the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest by the disclosure of the record” under California Government Code section 6255. Additionally, no documents will be produced if they contain personnel, medical, private, confidential, or similar files, the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy under California Government Code section 6254(c) and/or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. And, to the extent any of the records you are requesting are the subject of ongoing litigation and/or pending investigations, and/or are law enforcement investigatory records, such records are exempt from production. See Government Code sections 6254 (b), (f).

 

In addition, no documents or records will be produced to the extent such a production would violate California Penal Code §§ 832.7, 832.8, 11076, California Civil Code § 129, California Welfare and Intuitions Code §§ 827, 828, 831, California Business and Professions Code § 805, or California Evidence Code § 1043.

 

Furthermore, as we review your Requests, we may discover other applicable privileges and/or exemptions under Government Code sections 6254, 6255, 6256 or other applicable state or federal laws, and we reserve all rights to assert those at any time.

 

Pertaining to your Request, the Sheriff’s Office is invoking a 14-day extension to respond because as drafted the Request requires the need to search for and appropriately examine a number of records that are demanded in the Request and for potential coordination among other County departments in responding to the Request.

 

As always, the County reserves all rights.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Patrick Dimick

Administration Lieutenant
