RE: IN THE SUPREME COURT OF CALIFORNIA

Ct. App. 2/3 B257230
Los Angeles County
Super. Ct. No. BS145753
FILED 12/29/16

Electronic copies of City of Carmel-by-the-Sea legal expenditure records, including invoices, per legal case, for non-pending, non-active, non-ongoing legal cases, between June 2017 and the present.

After review of the California Public Records Act, the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea has determined that due to the need to search for, collect, and appropriately examine a voluminous amount of separate and distinct records, the City requires an extension of time, as authorized by California Government Code Section 6253.

This extension will allow the City to adequately determine whether the Records Request, in whole or in part, seeks copies of disclosable public records in the possession of the City.  In the event that the requested documents are not disclosable, the City will provide statutory authority for withholding the requested documents.

The City expects to provide its determination no later than December 3, 2018.
