As per the California Public Records Act, statutes of 1968, Chapter 1473; currently codified as Chapter 3.5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the California Government Code, Public Records Request Details, we are respectfully requesting copies of, 1. Current or the existing provider agreements, also termed "contracts", for the following services listed below, and, 2. The two most recent current or previous two months of invoicing (or “bills”) for the same services. Your city may utilize all or some of the services listed below, so if your city may not utilize one of the services below, obviously disregard that specific request. Please call me if you have any questions. My cell is listed below.
1. TELEPHONE LINES (also called ANALOG LINES) - these lines typically attach to phone systems, fax machines, alarms, security, or credit card machines. This might also be listed on phone bills as PRI, Trunk, Analog, Digital, or some other terminology used by a carrier. There are many providers for this type of service, but the most common are AT&T, Spectrum, Frontier, Verizon, but could also be competitive local carriers like TPx, Windstream, Century Link, and several dozens of others. We would not know who your specific provider is because there are so many.
2. INTERNET ACCESS (also called HIGH-SPEED INTERNET ACCESS) - these services power your computers and others need to access resources and make connections outside of your building. The most common are AT&T, Spectrum, Frontier, Verizon, but could also be competitive local carriers like TPx, Windstream, Century Link, and several dozens of others. We would not know who your specific provider is because there are so many.
3. VOIP / VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL / VOICE OVER IP / HOSTED PHONE SERVICES - this is a phone service that is hosted partially or completely in the cloud. The most common providers of this service are Ring Central, Vonage Business, Broadvoice, TPx, 8x8, Nextiva, CallTower, Cisco, Avaya, Mitel, Shoretel, and there are many others. We would not know who your specific provider is because there are so many.
4. ANALOG OR HYBRID, ON-PREMISE PHONE SYSTEM HARDWARE - these are costs associated with maintaining, fixing, licensing, or managing a phone system that is not hosted and is sitting in one of your offices locally. This is typically a maintenance agreement or fees charged to manage the phone system. You MAY have a mix of both types of phone systems...VOIP and ANALOG. The most common providers of on-premise phone systems are Avaya, Mitel, Shoretel, Nortel, NEC, AT&T, Panasonic, Toshiba, but could be one of many other brands out there. We would not know who your specific provider is because there are so many.

We would like every page of each specific agreement, and if there is normally a cost to acquire these documents, we would like to know what those costs are, as we will pay those associated costs if required. Please let me know if there are any additional questions.

Thank you! I am making this request on behalf of the individual listed below. Please email or call him if you need clarification or have questions about this request.
