Request #8230

In accordance with the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et seq.), I would like to request copies of documentation pertaining to Mayor Steve Jones’s correspondence, documents, and reports, including but not limited to agreements, emails, faxes, letters, notes, voicemails, text messages related to the design, lease, purchase, negotiations, related to personal real estate holdings and personal business holdings. Please also provide any FPPC Form 700, or related form, filed during the term of service with your agency. Our intention is to discover evidence of a financial conflict of interest related to service on the Orange County Transportation Authority.
The dates covered by this request are January 1, 2022 through the present.
I ask for a determination on this request within 10 days of your receipt of it, and an even prompter reply if you can make that determination without having to review the record[s] in question.
Hopefully you will be able to provide this information electronically; if not, please contact me with the expected amount for the copies and the easiest payment arrangement for you.
If you determine that any or all or the information qualifies for an exemption from disclosure, I ask you to note whether, as is normally the case under the Act, the exemption is discretionary, and if so whether it is necessary in this case to exercise your discretion to withhold the information.
If you determine that some but not all of the information is exempt from disclosure and that you intend to withhold it, I ask that you redact it for the time being and make the rest available as requested.
In any event, please provide a signed notification citing the legal authorities on which you rely if you determine that any or all of the information is exempt and will not be disclosed.
If you have any questions or need more information, please contact me anytime using the contact information provided elsewhere.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.
