Good evening:
This is a follow up to my previous correspondence to you regarding your public records request assigned tracking number P002782-071220.
In July 2019, the Washington State Legislature amended the state Public Records Act in a way that impacts the way we are to respond to public records requests which seek documents from an employee’s personnel file.

The substance of the amended law is found at RCW 42.56.250(12):
. . .
Upon receipt of a request for information located exclusively in an employee’s personnel, payroll, supervisor, or training file, (highlighting added) the agency must provide notice to the employee, to any union representing the employee, and to the requestor.  The notice must state:

(a) The date of the request;
(b) The nature of the requested record relating to the employee;
(c) That the agency will release any information in the record which is not exempt from the disclosure requirements of this chapter at least ten days from the date the notice is made; and
(d) That the employee may seek to enjoin release of the records under RCW 42.56.540.
The remaining emails from the review performed include records from the training files for Spokane Police Department employees.  Accordingly, we will need to provide third-party notification to the individuals notifying them of your request and providing them the opportunity pursuant to the above-referenced statute, to enjoin the release of their training records.  Due to the number of employees requiring notification, we estimate an additional 30 days, or until on or about June 28, to provide a next installment.  We will follow up with you on or about that date regarding the status of your request.  If a next installment becomes available sooner, we will let you know.
Sincerely,
Laurie Farnsworth

Good evening:
This is a follow up to my previous correspondence to you regarding your public records request assigned tracking number P002782-071220, and is also to acknowledge your messages of September 28 and October 6, 2021.
In further response to your request, this is to inform you that a second installment is available by accessing your account via the My Request Center on the GovQA portal.  The installment is comprised of a second group of emails from the review performed for your request, which were determined to contain information exempt from disclosure and have been redacted.  An exemption log follows the the Redacted Emails document which identifies the redacted information and the reasons for and statutes relied upon for withholding the information.
In accordance with Section 6.5 of the City’s Public Records Request policy, if you wish to appeal a determination to withhold information, you may petition in writing or by email to the City Clerk’s Office for a review of the determination within sixty (60) days of the denial of access.  Please include a copy of, or reasonably identify, the part of the response to which you object.  Your petition will be forwarded to the Hearing Examiner, who will consider the petition and either affirm or reverse the determination within ten (10) business days following the City’s receipt of the petition, or within such greater period of time as the City and the requestor mutually agree to. You may obtain a court review of the denial of your request pursuant to RCW 42.56.520 at the conclusion of the two business days after the initial denial, regardless of any internal administrative review.  The complete Public Records Request Policy may be accessed at the following website: https://my.spokanecity.org/administrative/public-records/.
I advised in prior correspondence regarding the requirement pursuant to 42.56.250(12) that employees be provided notification and the opportunity to petition the Superior Court to enjoin (stop) the release of any training records located under a public records request.  A large number of employee training records were returned on this email search, and due to other workload and staff schedules absences, we have not had the opportunity to provide the notifications.  We anticipate a next installment of emails will be available in approximately 35 days, or on or about November 11, and we will follow up with you accordingly.  If a next installment becomes available sooner, we will let you know.
Thank you for your patience and consideration as we work to conclude your request.

Good afternoon:
This is a follow up to my January 12 correspondence to you regarding your public records request assigned tracking number P002782-071220
During the latter part of January and the beginning of February I was performing the duties of Acting City Clerk during the absence of City Clerk Terri Pfister, and I am doing so again this week.  Undertaking these duties has impacted my available time to devote to responding to public records requests.

Accordingly, some additional time is needed to provide an installment for your request, for which I sincerely apologize.  The remaining emails to provide include attachments of training records for SPD employees which are located in SPD officers' personnel files.  Accordingly, pursuant to RCW 42.56.250(12), we are required to notify the affected employees of  your request and provide them the opportunity,   pursuant to   RCW 42.56.250(12) (Employment and licensing), RCW 42.56.540 (court protection of public records), and Section 6.1.4 of the City of Spokane's Public  Records Request Policy and Procedure, to enjoin (stop) the City's release of their records.  If no injunctive action is taken by the employee by that date prescribed to them, the records will be provided to you.  I am in the notification process for the next batch of emails.  We anticipate a next installment will be available in approximately 30 days, or on or about March 23, and I will follow up with you accordingly.  If  I am able to follow up with you sooner, I will let you know.
We understand that you are anxious to obtain the records you have requested and we want to assure you that we are working diligently to bring your request to conclusion.  Thank you for your patience and understanding in this regard.
Sincerely,
Laurie Farnsworth

Good morning:
This is a follow up to my previous correspondence to you regarding your public records request assigned tracking number P002782-071220.  This is to also acknowledge receipt of your April 5 correspondence inquiring as to the status of your request.
As I alluded to in previous correspondence, during portions of January, February and March of this year, I was performing the duties of Acting City Clerk during some absences of the City Clerk. Taking on these responsibilities significantly impacted my time available to devote and respond to public records requests.  Accordingly, I was unable to make an installment available by the date previously cited for which I sincerely apologize.  We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to conclude your request.
As I indicated in my February 21 correspondence, the remaining emails to provide include attachments of training records for SPD employees which are located in SPD officers' personnel files.  Accordingly, pursuant to RCW 42.56.250(12), we are required to notify the affected employees of  your request and provide them the opportunity,    pursuant to   RCW 42.56.250(12) (Employment and licensing), RCW 42.56.540 (court protection of public records), and Section 6.1.4 of the City of Spokane's Public  Records Request Policy and Procedure, to enjoin (stop) the City's release of their records.  Do you still wish to obtain these training records attachments, or would you be amenable to to obtaining the emails without the attachments?  If you confirm you wish to continue receiving the emails with attachments or, in the alternative, receiving the emails without the attachments, at your earliest opportunity, I would appreciate it.
I anticipate that a next installment of records (which include training records attachments) will be available in approximately 30 days, or on or about My 23, 2022, and I will follow up with you accordingly.  If you determine that you do not require the training records attachments, I anticipate providing you the remaining emails within one week of any such confirmation.
Sincerely,
Laurie Farnsworth
Spokane Deputy City Clerk

In follow up to my previous correspondence to you regarding your public records request assigned tracking number P002782-071220, this is to inform you that a sixth installment is available by accessing your account via the My Request Center on the GovQA portal.  The installment is comprised of a fifth group of emails from the review being performed for your request which contain SPD officer training records and have also been determined to contain information exempt from disclosure and have been redacted.  Also available via the My Request Center is an exemption log which identifies the redacted information and the reasons for and statutes relied upon for withholding the information.
In accordance with Section 6.5 of the City’s Public Records Request policy, if you wish to appeal a determination to withhold information, you may petition in writing or by email to the City Clerk’s Office for a review of the determination within sixty (60) days of the denial of access.  Please include a copy of, or reasonably identify, the part of the response to which you object.  Your petition will be forwarded to the Hearing Examiner, who will consider the petition and either affirm or reverse the determination within ten (10) business days following the City’s receipt of the petition, or within such greater period of time as the City and the requestor mutually agree to. You may obtain a court review of the denial of your request pursuant to RCW 42.56.520 at the conclusion of the two business days after the initial denial, regardless of any internal administrative review.  The complete Public Records Request Policy may be accessed at the following website: https://my.spokanecity.org/administrative/public-records/
We continue to address the remaining emails requiring redaction and comprise, as I have previously explained, training records for SPD officers which require third-party notification to the affected officers prior to their release.  Due to other workload, we anticipate that a next and possibly final installment will be available in approximately 21  days, or on or about November 18, and we will follow up with you accordingly.  If a next installment becomes available sooner, we will let you know.
Sincerely,
Laurie Farnsworth
Spokane Deputy City Clerk

Good morning Bridget:
In follow up to my October 28 correspondence to you regarding your public records request assigned tracking number P002782-071220, this is to inform you that a next and possibly final installment is now available.
The installment is comprised of a final remaining email from the review performed, which email includes an attachment pertaining to training records for a former Spokane Police Department employee.  The required notification has been made pursuant to RCW 42.56.250(12) (Employment and licensing).  However, the attachment to this remaining email also includes a list of individuals.
An appellate court decision, SEIU Healthcare 775 NW v. DSHS, 193 Wn. App. 377 (2016) holds that when a city receives a request for documents that includes a list of individuals, the city is required to determine whether the list will be used for “commercial purposes.” The case concluded that a requestor has a commercial purpose if the requestor intends to use the list for direct or indirect profit-making activity, regardless of whether the requestor intends to contact the individuals on the list or even if the individuals are personally affected by the release of the list or not. If the city has some indication that a requester intends to use a list of individuals for a commercial purpose, we are required to “investigate further” before we disclose that list.
Further, the SEIU case held that even an affirmation stating that any responsive records received for a request which include lists of individuals will not be used for commercial purposes, is not sufficient. Instead, before we can release the attachment to this email, we are required to obtain from you sufficient details as to what you intend to use the list for so that we can make an independent evaluation as to whether or not your purpose is commercial or not.

Please fill out and return the attached Commercial Purpose Declaration. A determination will then be made as to whether your stated purpose regarding the use of the list(s) of individuals contained in any compiled responsive records is sufficient to allow for the release of this information. To avoid unnecessary delay in obtaining these specific responsive records for your request, please return the completed declaration at your earliest opportunity. We will follow up with you within five business days as to the validity of the stated purpose relating to your request.  Upon receipt of the completed declaration determined to be valid, the email and its attachment will be provided to you.
The email review for your request is concluded and (with the exception of the remaining email attachment containing the list of individuals which has yet to be provided, contingent upon receiving a completed declaration from you) no additional responsive records have been located.  If you feel we have overlooked anything in responding to your request, or. if you have personal knowledge of any responsive records in the City's possession that have not yet been made available to you, please clarify your request by clearly describing what the remaining identifiable public records are, if any, that you may still be attempting to seek, and we will be glad to look into your request further.
Please provide any such clarification within 30 days of today's date, or by December 16, 2022.  Further, please complete and return the attached Commercial Purpose Declaration also by December 16.  If the requested clarification or a completed declaration determined to be valid is not received in the City Clerk's Office by that date, your request will be considered concluded and closed, and a new request will be required in this matter after December 16, 2022.
Sincerely,
Laurie Farnsworth
Spokane Deputy City Clerk

Good afternoon:
This is a follow up to my November 16 correspondence to you wherein I sought clarification regarding your public records request assigned tracking number P002782-071220.  I also explained the need for a commercial purpose declaration for a document containing a list of individuals, and provide a declaration to be completed.  Any clarification and the completed declaration was to be received in the City Clerk's Office by December 16, 2022.
As, to our knowledge, no clarification or a completed commercial purpose declaration has been received, we are considering our response to your request to be concluded and closed, and a new request will be required for any additional records you may still be seeking in this matter.  If you feel there has been any misunderstanding regarding your request, or, if we can be of further assistance, please advise.
Sincerely,
Laurie Farnsworth
Spokane Deputy City Clerk
