City of Garden Grove

The City has completed its review and evaluation of the two (2) separate request category descriptions set forth in your March 28, 2022 request in an effort to make a determination as to whether the request, either in whole or in part, seeks copies of disclosable public records in the possession of the City. The City has performed a reasonable review of its records to locate responsive, or potentially responsive, documents. (City of San Jose v. Superior Court (2017) 2 Cal.5th 608, 627).

The City’s determination in this regard is as follows:

Request No. 1 – “I would like a copy of the City of Garden Grove’s contract for services with the law firm of Woodruff, Spradlin and Smart APC.”

Records responsive to this request description, or deemed potentially responsive, have been located and are attached.

Request No. 2 – “I would also like a copy of all billings presented to the City of Garden Grove by the law firm of Woodruff, Spradlin & Smart APC for all matters that have been resolved from January 2020 to present date.”

Records responsive to this request description, or deemed potentially responsive, have been located, are currently being assembled, and will be promptly produced. However, records will not be produced, or will be redacted, to the extent they are determined to be exempt from disclosure pursuant to the attorney-client privilege and the attorney work product doctrine (Government Code §6254(k), Evidence Code §954, Code of Civil Procedure §2018.030); Los Angeles County Bd. of Supervisors v. Superior Court, (2016) 2 Cal.5th 282; County of Los Angeles Bd. of Supervisors v. Superior Court, (2017) 12 Cal. App.5th 1264.

The City is still in the process of gathering responsive, or potentially responsive, records related to the second request category description above. Any and all non-exempt, non-privileged public records deemed responsive, or potentially responsive, to this request description will be produced for your review and inspection on or before Friday, April 29, 2022.

Due date extended to: Friday, April 29, 2022
