REQUESTOR Paterson
INFORMATION
REQUESTED a)
The CPRA contains many exceptions to its disclosure rules, including. possibly relevant
here, employee personnel files and records of discipline.
Cal. Gov. Code§ 6254(c).
However, where "charges are found true, or discipline is imposed,
the strong public policy against disclosure vanishes ... where there is reasonable
cause to
believe the
complaint to be well founded, the right of public access to related public records
exists .· AFSCME v. Regents of the University of California , 80 CaL App. 3d
913, 918 (1978). Therefore, this entire report discussing complaints of
sexual harassment leveled against a government official should be
disclosable. b)Since the City did not disclose the entire 217-page
CONFIDENTIAL INVESTIGATIVE REPORT REGARDING COMPLAINTS OF SEXUAL
HARASSMENT PREPARED FOR THE CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA as requested, the City
is required to cite an applicable exemptions and its reasoning why that
exemption applies. Ergo, cite applicable exemptions and its reasoning
why that exemption applies.
NOTES no records provided
Ms.
Paterson:
The
City is in receipt of your July 28, 2019 correspondence requesting an
unredacted copy of the confidential investigative report regarding complaints
of sexual harassment against former City of Carmel Mayor Steve Dallas. Please
be advised that this response is being provided pursuant to Government Code
6255. The City has reviewed your request and denied your request for an
unredacted copy of the report for the reasons articulated herein. The
determination regarding this request was made by Special Counsel.
Redactions
to the investigative report consisted of redactions of names and other
personally identifiable information of individuals, including job titles and
employer information. These redactions were made to preserve the anonymity and
privacy of these individuals, all of whom were members of the general public
and not employees of the City of Carmel. These individuals were either
complainants or witnesses involved in the investigation. Pursuant to Government
Code 6255(a) the redacted information is exempt from disclosure because the
public interest served by not disclosing the names and other personally
identifiable information of complainants and witnesses clearly outweighs the
public interest served by disclosure of the unredacted record.
The
foregoing decision is supported by California case law as courts have found
that the public interest served by withholding public records containing names,
addresses, and telephone numbers of persons making complaints clearly outweighs
the public interest served by disclosure of such records, such that these
records are exempt from disclosure under Government Code 6255(a), as disclosure
of this information would have a chilling effect on future complaints and
complainants have significant privacy interests at stake. City of San Jose
v. Superior Court (App. 6 Dist. 1999) 88 Cal.Rptr.2d 552, 74
Cal.App.4th 1008
Additionally,
certain information was redacted pursuant to Government Code 6254(f) and
California Penal Code 964(b), as such information contained confidential
personal information. As stated on the cover page of the redacted report that
was previously provided, the original report has not been altered and only
names and identifying details have been redacted in the interest of preserving
the privacy of those individuals involved in the investigation.
