Request for Public Records – City of Garden Grove Notice of Extension
The City of Garden Grove has received your records request dated July 6, 2020, Request #5904. 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 July 30, 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 July 30, 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, July 30, 2020
The City has conducted a reasonable search for records pursuant to your request and has determined that responsive records exist. However, per Government Code Section 6254(c), individuals have a strong privacy interest in their personal information and their names are not disclosable. Furthermore, the citations further constitute evidence of a municipal code violation(s) that could be prosecuted as a criminal misdemeanors and therefore constitute police investigatory records exempt per Government Code Section 6254(f). The administrative citations are not arrests. Because these records are exempt, they will not be produced in response to this request.
Thank you,
City Clerk’s Office
City of Garden Grove
