OpenGovernmentCommission | 2021-11-01 | 10 | In response to Chair Tilos's inquiry, the City Clerk stated that she would send the final written decision to Commissioners via Docusign. 3-B. Hearing on Sunshine Ordinance Complaint Filed on October 4, 2021 Jay Garfinkle, Complainant, gave an Opening Statement and Presentation of Facts. Bradford Kuhn, Nossaman, City/Respondent, gave an Opening Statement and Presentation of Facts. Mr. Garfinkle replied to the City/Respondent Opening Statement and Presentation of Facts. Commissioner LoPilato inquired whether Mr. Garfinkle's Exhibit 3 attached to his Complaint is the full set of documents he received that produced by the City. Mr. Garfinkle responded in the negative; stated much of what was produced was repetitious threads. Commissioner LoPilato clarified that she was asking about the larger exhibit which was 1,052 pages. Mr. Garfinkle responded he thought he had pulled out the larger exhibit. Commissioner LoPilato stated that she is trying to gauge whether the Commission has visibility into the full scope of the production, which sounds uncertain; inquired whether Mr. Garfinkle inquired about any of the specific redactions with the City Attorney's office representative that was communicating with him about the production before filing the Complaint. Mr. Garfinkle responded that he does not know if he did; stated it took him a long time, at least a couple of weeks, to go through all the documents; while his Complaint was about the lack of explanation, he was also looking at what was being expressed between the lobbyists and City staff, much of what he thought was inappropriate; it was not just a matter of the redactions; he could not file a Complaint about what they were talking about, his Complaint was about the quality of the redactions; among all of the communications, he felt a number were inappropriate. Commissioner LoPilato clarified that her question is whether Mr. Garfinkle inquired about why there was a redaction, to which Mr. Garfinkle responded in the negative; stated the City Attorney's office is required to provide it, he should not have to ask for it. Commissioner Reid thanked Mr. Garfinkle for bringing his Complaint forward; inquired what type of information would be exempt related to draft position statements and why the documents were redacted if they are just conversations regarding the legislative Meeting of the Open Government Commission November 1, 2021 10 | OpenGovernmentCommission/2021-11-01.pdf |
