To Whom It May Concern:
The City has received your request for " all communications, whether written or electronic, between the City of Garden Grove staff/personnel and the Orange County Humane Society from 2015 to the present" and objects on the basis that your request is overly broad, unduly burdensome, and not focused and specific. (Rogers v. Superior Court (1993) 19 Cal.App.4th 469, 481) Because the City contracts with the OC Humane Society to provide animal shelter services, the City has multiple communications with OC Humane Society on a daily basis and anticipates that there will be several thousand records responsive to your request. Each record would have to be reviewed for privileged and exempt information, which would require a significant amount of staff time. The City requests that you narrow your request by shortening the time-frame, providing a specific topic, or identifying keywords to include in the records search. For example, you may specify that you wish to review records pertaining to the handling of a specific animal, or for a copy of the written contract between the City and OC Humane Society.
Sincerely,
Denise Kehn
