Hello Mr. Lieber:
The Sonoma County Human Services Department received a Public Information Act request from you today. It originally went to a Department of Health email address.
I’d appreciate talking with you by phone about your if possible to clarify the records you are looking for. Here are some of my questions:
You ask for “…public records about mandatory communicable disease reporting in Sonoma County in the past two months (September and October, 2017) including before, during, and after the major Tubbs fire.” County records about disease would be a function of the Department of Health.
Your request is addressed to the Human Services Department and specifically the Family, Youth and Children’s Division. That section of our department oversees child protection and foster care in our county.
Once it is clear which department can follow up on your request, there may be additional questions to refine the types of public records you’re requesting (e.g. data, policies or other information).
Please feel free to respond to this email or call me between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Thank you,
Kris Montgomery | Communications Manager
