Request for Public Records – City of Garden Grove Notice of Extension
Dear Requestor:
The City of Garden Grove has received your records request dated May 4, 2020 Request #5709. The City’s intent is to comply with your request for public records, pursuant to the California Public Records Act (the “Act”) (Government Code §6250 et seq.).
The City is in the process of evaluating this request and is compiling records in an effort to make a determination as to whether the request seeks copies of disclosable public records in the possession of the City of Garden Grove. However, notice is hereby given that the time limit to make this initial determination under the code shall be extended by fourteen (14) days to May 28, 2020, pursuant to Government Code §6253, for the following reason:
(a) The extension of time is reasonable and necessary for the proper processing of the request.
As noted above, the City’s written determination as to whether the request seeks copies of disclosable, non-exempt and non-privileged public records in the possession of the agency shall be sent to you on or about May 28, 2020. Pursuant to the Act, thereafter any and all disclosable, non-exempt and non-privileged public records that are deemed responsive to your request will be made promptly available to you.
Sincerely,
City Clerk’s Office
City of Garden Grove
Due date extended to: Thursday, May 28, 2020
The City is in receipt of your request for records related to the storage of hazardous flammable materials at the Garden Grove Police Department and in other locations within the City. After conducting a reasonable search, the City has determined that responsive records exist. However, certain information in those records is exempt from disclosure pursuant to Government Code sections 6254.11 [Volatile Organic Compounds or Chemical Substances Information,” 6255(a), and 54957(a). Specifically, the public interest in safety and security of city facilities served by not disclosing the entirety of the requested records clearly outweighs any public interest served by disclosure. Please see the attached redacted records for all non-exempt, non-privileged records within the City’s possession.
Thank you,
City Clerk’s Office
