Hi,
I am owner/resident at 8852 Daffodil Place. A sprinkler pipe was broken by tree roots and it leaks now making the sprinklers ineffective. I am trying to fix this. It
would be a lot easier if a map/blueprint of the sprinkler piping system in the front lawn is available. I am assuming that since the landscaping was done by the
builder, a plan may have been submitted to the city. If you have any record, I would like to access it.
Please advise.

Hello,
This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W. You may call me W. I am writing this letter for the purpose of filing a request for records with
your office.i The bases for this records request are [1] the May 18th 2023 decision of the University of California to hire “students who lack legal status and work
permits;”ii [2] the May 16th 2023 statements made by Jessica Alba on the subject of systemic racism and sexism.iii
I)Records Requested
What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] the formal/informal ties that exist between your
office, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the University of California; [2] the University of California (UC) as a post-secondary academic institution,
which has (i) on September 07th 2022 published through its Los Angeles (UCLA) campus a proposal in favor of hiring “undocumented students for positions within
UC even if they lack employment authorization under federal immigration law;” (ii) provided persuasive arguments that they should not be bound by the 1986
Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), in particular 8 U.S.C Section 1324a because they are not specifically mentioned;iv (iii) on May 18th 2023 agreed to
find a pathway to hire students who lack legal status and work permits; [3] the decision of Congress not to explicitly mention your local/state government at the
time they enacted the 1986 IRCA with the blessing and approval of the Ronald Reagan / George Bush White House Administration; [4] the applications of
employment submitted (to your local/state government) by qualified American immigrants who were never issued a Department of State (DOS) visa and/or a

Dear Mr. Pham:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I am writing to request a copy of records pertaining to the property located at 200 East 10th Street, Gilroy, CA
95020. Please provide copies of the following records:
1.All documents related to code enforcement complaints, inspections, warnings, citations, or violations issued against the property.
2.All documents related to red tagging the property.
3.All documents related to unsafe living conditions at the property.
4.All documents related to violations of building regulations at the property, including but not limited to violations involving structural, mechanical, electrical,
plumbing, and health and safety deficiencies.
The Public Records Act allows the public to request records by describing their content rather than asking for specific documents by name. An agency receiving
such a request must “search for records based on criteria set forth in the search request.” Cal. First Amendment Coalition v. Superior Court (1998) 67 Cal.App.4th
159, 165-66. This request applies to all records in your agency’s possession, including documents created by a member of another government agency or
member of the public. See California State University, Fresno Assn., Inc. v. Superior Court (2001) 90 Cal.App.4th 810, 824-25. If specific portions of any documents
are exempt from disclosure, please provide the nonexempt portions. Gov. Code, § 6253, subd. (a). Please provide entire documents, even if only parts of them
are responsive to this request. If you maintain records or data in electronic format, please provide them in that same format to avoid copying costs. Gov. Code,
§ 6253.9. Locked versions are acceptable. If you are unable to reproduce electronic records in electronic form, please provide a reason.
I request you waive copying fees because we are a nonprofit organization, the information requested will be used in the public interest to provide legal
representation to low-income tenants living in Gilroy, CA, and none of the information will be sold nor distributed for profit. If you are unable to waive the
copying fees and you anticipate that these costs will exceed $25 or that the time needed to copy the records will delay their release, please contact me so I
can arrange to inspect the documents or decide which documents I need to have copied. Otherwise, please copy and send all requested documents as soon
as possible.
Please respond to this request within 10 days as required by law (Gov. Code, § 6253, subd. (c)), either by providing all the requested documents and stating
when the documents will be made available or by providing a written response setting forth the legal authority for withholding or redacting any information.
Gov. Code, §§ 6253, subd. (c), 6255. If you require any clarification in identifying the responsive documents or focusing this request (Gov. Code, § 6253.1),
please contact me at margarita.maiz@lawfoundation.org or (408) 350-7226. Please send electronic documents to margarita.maiz@lawfoundation.org and

7920,
the California Public Records Act.
The
purpose of this request is to obtain records which provide a complete and comprehensive account of
Gilroy's

Specifically,
this request seeks an accounting, by full name and job title, of total gross wages paid to each employee and the total cost incurred separately by the employer
for providing retirement and health benefits.
Note
that the State Controller’s “Government Compensation in California” report does not contain the names of employees and therefore does not satisfy this
request.
If your response is to send us a copy of that report, that will simply delay the process and take more of your time as we will reject it as insufficient to satisfy this
request in full.

Hi,
I am owner/resident at 8852 Daffodil Place. A sprinkler pipe was broken by tree
roots and it leaks now making the sprinklers ineffective. I am trying to fix this. It
would be a lot easier if a map/blueprint of the sprinkler piping system in the
front lawn is available. I am assuming that since the landscaping was done by
the builder, a plan may have been submitted to the city. If you have any record,
I would like to access it.
Please advise.

Department:Human Resources
Request:
Hello,
This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W. You may
call me W. I am writing this letter for the purpose of filing a request for records
with your office.i The bases for this records request are [1] the May 18th 2023
decision of the University of California to hire “students who lack legal status
and work permits;”ii [2] the May 16th 2023 statements made by Jessica Alba on
the subject of systemic racism and sexism.iii
I)Records Requested
What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession
detailing your discussions about [1] the formal/informal ties that exist between
your office, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the University of
California; [2] the University of California (UC) as a post-secondary academic
institution, which has (i) on September 07th 2022 published through its Los
Angeles (UCLA) campus a proposal in favor of hiring “undocumented students
for positions within UC even if they lack employment authorization under
federal immigration law;” (ii) provided persuasive arguments that they should
not be bound by the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), in
particular 8 U.S.C Section 1324a because they are not specifically mentioned;iv
(iii) on May 18th 2023 agreed to find a pathway to hire students who lack legal
status and work permits; [3] the decision of Congress not to explicitly mention
your local/state government at the time they enacted the 1986 IRCA with the
blessing and approval of the Ronald Reagan / George Bush White House
Administration; [4] the applications of employment submitted (to your
local/state government) by qualified American immigrants who were never
issued a Department of State (DOS) visa and/or a DHS Employment
Authorization Document (EAD) after your Human Resources (HR) department
announced the opening of a vacant job position; [5] Jessica Alba as a woman,
who (i) was born April 28th 1981 in Pomona, California;v (ii) believes that she
has had a tough childhood in part because of the systemic racism that her
ancestors of Mexican national origin have gone through; (iii) believes that
there’s systemic sexism embedded throughout U.S society; (iv) says that she’s
previously been called
“delusional;” (v) believes that the U.S government has not provided “enough
oversight to make sure that people has a robust safety standard, which didn’t
poison them;” [6] Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black man, who (i) came to the
U.S.A on an F-1 visa in December 2009 for the purpose of obtaining a Bachelor
of Arts (B.A) Degree from Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri); (ii) was
previously issued by the DHS an EAD; (iii) has in Calendar Year 2014 initiated
contact with the DHS on the subject of his employment history with the
Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH)
after they had issued him an EAD; (iv) has in good-faith informed the DHS in
July 2016 that he would be leaving the territory of the U.S.A; (v) has in good-
faith informed the DHS in Calendar Year 2017 that he had
MICHAEL A. AYELE (A.K.A) W - ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF
CIVIL LIBERTIES (AACL)
obtained a B.A Degree from Westminster College; (vi) has in the past had his
FOIA request with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
processed in the “simple” track when it pertained to DHS matters; (vii) expects
the EEOC to break the precedent they have set for themselves (in FOIA Request
Case No.: 280 – 2020 – 000469) by assigning his future FOIA requests on DHS
related matters to the “complex” track and afterwards labelling them
“unreasonable;” (viii) has previously visited the National Museum of the
American Indian (NMAI); [7] the NMAI as a diverse and multifaceted cultural and
educational enterprise, which
(i) defines the term “treaty” as a “solemn agreement between sovereign
nations;” (ii) has on its website and their museums displayed the treaties that
the U.S government signed with the Indian Nations only to afterwards break
them; (iii) has on its website and their museums displayed the treaties the
Indian Nations were coerced to sign with the U.S government.vi
II)Request for a Fee Waiver and Expedited Processing
The requested records do/will demonstrate that [1] Jessica Alba is a woman,
who (i) was born April 28th 1981 in Pomona, California;vii (ii) believes that she
has had a tough childhood (in part) because of the systemic racism that her
ancestors of Mexican national origin have gone through;
(iii) believes that there’s systemic sexism embedded throughout U.S society;
(iv) says that she’s previously been called “delusional;” (v) believes that the
U.S government has not provided “enough oversight to make sure that people
had a robust safety standard, which didn’t poison them;” [2] Michael Ayele
(a.k.a) W is a Black man, who (i) came to the U.S.A on an F-1 visa in December
2009 for the purpose of obtaining a Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree from
Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri); (ii) was previously issued by the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) an Employment Authorization
Document (EAD); (iii) has in Calendar Year 2014 initiated contact with the DHS
on the subject of his employment history with the Missouri Department of
Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH) after they had issued him
an EAD; (iv) has in good-faith informed the DHS in July 2016 that he would be
leaving the territory of the U.S.A; (v) has in good-faith informed the DHS in
Calendar Year 2017 that he had obtained a
B.A Degree from Westminster College; (vi) has in the past had his FOIA request
with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) processed in the
“simple” track when it pertained to DHS matters; (vii) expects the EEOC to
break the precedent they have set for themselves (in FOIA Request Case No.:
280 – 2020 – 000469) by assigning his future FOIA requests on DHS related
matters to the “complex” track and afterwards labelling them “unreasonable;”
(viii) has decided not to engage with the EEOC if they ever in the future process
FOIA requests related to DHS matters in the “complex track;” (ix) was
persuaded by the arguments made by the University of California (UC) on
September 07th 2022 in part because of statements made by U.S Supreme
Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett in the month of June 2023;
[3] U.S Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett is a Caucasian woman, who
was recently subject of extensive media coverage (in part) for saying that:
“Substantive canons are rules of construction that advance values external to a
statute. (…) Some substantive canons, like the rule of lenity, play the modest
role of breaking a tie between equally plausible interpretations of a
statute. (…) Others are more aggressive – think of them as strong form of
substantive canons. Unlike a tie breaking rule, a strong form canon counsels a
court to strain statutory text to
MICHAEL A. AYELE (A.K.A) W - ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF
CIVIL LIBERTIES (AACL)
advance a particular value. (…) There are many such canons on the books,
including constitutional avoidance, the clear-statements federalism rules, and
the presumption against retroactivity. Such rules effectively impose a ‘clarity
tax’ on Congress by demanding that it
speak unequivocally if it wants to accomplish certain ends;” viii [4] Michael A.
Ayele (a.k.a) W is a Black man, who (i) agreed with the legal arguments made by
the UC on September 07th 2022 because Congress has not spoken clearly
when enacting the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), in
particular 8 U.S.C Section 1324a; (ii) believes that the UC should not be bound
by the IRCA, in particular 8 U.S.C Section 1324a because they are not
specifically mentioned; (iii) would strongly advise members of Congress not to
enact in the future a retroactive law that specifically mentions the UC and/or
other colleges/universities and/or other local/state governments in the U.S.A for
the purpose of prohibiting undocumented students employment on campus
and/or elsewhere in local/state government.
In my judgment the facts presented in my request for a fee waiver and
expedited processing are not the sort to bolster public confidence in the
activities/the engagements/the priorities of the U.S government overall, but
more particularly in those of the EEOC, a federal agency of the U.S government
that has recently grown very fond with processing Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W FOIA
requests in the “complex” track and afterwards labelling them as
“unreasonable” even though it didn’t do so before. Indeed, I regret to inform
you that the EEOC have in the last couple of years expressed a strong desire to
engage with Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W in telephonic/email conversations on
various issues, where they have had their mind made up before inviting him to
engage with them. For obvious reasons, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has declined
to engage the EEOC in conversations, where they have had their minds made
up (in part) because he has seen this behavior pattern and this attitude of theirs
during the processing of the Charge of Employment Discrimination that had
been assigned Case No.: 28E – 2014 – 00485C (and he had made the mistake of
actually engaging with them in good-faith). The Association for the
Advancement of Civil Liberties (AACL) does find it to be extremely odd that the
EEOC have still not addressed in writing the reasons for their decision to issue
a press release, which specifically (and by the looks of it, intentionally) omitted
the United States Women National Soccer Team (USWNT) involvement in the
establishment of the White House Gender Policy Council. It is the judgment of
the AACL that the EEOC have on countless past occasions displayed
recklessly irresponsible decision-making abilities when processing charges of
discriminations as well as FOIA requests. The AACL is very much vexed by the
persistent efforts of the EEOC to waste Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W time on lost
causes (particularly after their processing of the Charge of Employment
Discrimination that had been assigned Case No.: 28E – 2014 – 00485C).
As a Black man with a U.S college degree, who has previously filed a charge of
discrimination pursuant to the provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, I
would like to take this opportunity to [1] condemn discrimination on the bases
of gender, racial background, sexual orientation, national origin, religious
affiliation and disability status; [2] condemn the racism and sexism Jessica
Alba has had to bear witness to and/or experience in person; [3] condemn the
MICHAEL A. AYELE (A.K.A) W - ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF
CIVIL LIBERTIES (AACL)
EEOC processing of the charge of discrimination they had previously assigned
Case No.: 28E – 2014 – 00485C; [4] condemn the EEOC coordinated efforts to
avoid accountability by shifting responsibility and blame onto Michael Ayele
(a.k.a) W.
The core issues presented in this records request are as follows. 1) Have you
had conversations about the UC interpretation of the 1986 Immigration Reform
and Control Act (IRCA)? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 2)
Has your local/state/federal government ever held discussions on the subject of
the 1986 IRCA without making explicit mention of the September 07th 2022
report published by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)? If yes,
will you promptly disclose those records? 3) Has your local/state government
ever had conversations about the UC as an integral part of California’s state
government? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 4) Were
applications of employment ever submitted to your local/state government by
qualified immigrants who were never issued a DOS visa and/or a DHS
Employment Authorization Document (EAD) after your Human Resource (H.R)
Department announced the opening of a vacant job position? If yes, will you
promptly disclose those records? 5) Have you had conversations about the
racism and sexism Jessica Alba has had to bear witness to and/or experience
in person? If yes, will you disclose those records? 6) Have you had
conversations about the decision of Jessica Alba to criticize the U.S
government for failing to provide responsible oversight for the purpose of
protecting human health? If yes, will you disclose those records? 7) Does your
local/state/federal government have a definition in use for what constitutes a
“precedent?” If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 8) Have you ever
had conversations about any of the many hundreds of treaties concluded
between the Indian Nations and the U.S government? If yes, will you disclose
those records? 9) Has your local/state/federal government ever made a public
commitment not to be in breach of a binding written contractual agreement? If
yes, will you promptly disclose those records?
This records request should be expedited because it puts into question the
government’s integrity about the way that people are treated in the U.S.A on
account of their gender, their racial backgrounds, their national origins and
their disability status. My request for a fee waiver should be granted because
[1] I have identified operations and activities of the federal government in
concert with U.S local/state government; [2] the issues presented are
meaningfully informative about government operations or activities in order to
be ‘likely to contribute’ to and increase public understanding of those
operations or activities; [3] this records request is being filed for non-
commercial purposes and any records you disclose to me could be made
available to the general public at no financial expense to them. Under penalty of
perjury, I hereby declare all the statements I have made to be true and accurate.
Be well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance.

Dear Mr. Pham:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I am writing to request a copy of
records pertaining to the property located at 200 East 10th Street, Gilroy, CA
95020. Please provide copies of the following records:
1.All documents related to code enforcement complaints, inspections,
warnings, citations, or violations issued against the property.
2.All documents related to red tagging the property.
3.All documents related to unsafe living conditions at the property.
4.All documents related to violations of building regulations at the property,
including but not limited to violations involving structural, mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, and health and safety deficiencies.
The Public Records Act allows the public to request records by describing their
content rather than asking for specific documents by name. An agency
receiving such a request must “search for records based on criteria set forth in
the search request.” Cal. First Amendment Coalition v. Superior Court (1998)
67 Cal.App.4th 159, 165-66. This request applies to all records in your agency’s
possession, including documents created by a member of another government
agency or member of the public. See California State University, Fresno Assn.,
Inc. v. Superior Court (2001) 90 Cal.App.4th 810, 824-25. If specific portions of
any documents are exempt from disclosure, please provide the nonexempt
portions. Gov. Code, § 6253, subd. (a). Please provide entire documents, even if
only parts of them are responsive to this request. If you maintain records or
data in electronic format, please provide them in that same format to avoid
copying costs. Gov. Code, § 6253.9. Locked versions are acceptable. If you are
unable to reproduce electronic records in electronic form, please provide a
reason.
I request you waive copying fees because we are a nonprofit organization, the
information requested will be used in the public interest to provide legal
representation to low-income tenants living in Gilroy, CA, and none of the
information will be sold nor distributed for profit. If you are unable to waive the
copying fees and you anticipate that these costs will exceed $25 or that the
time needed to copy the records will delay their release, please contact me so I
can arrange to inspect the documents or decide which documents I need to
have copied. Otherwise, please copy and send all requested documents as
soon as possible.
Please respond to this request within 10 days as required by law (Gov. Code, §
6253, subd. (c)), either by providing all the requested documents and stating
when the documents will be made available or by providing a written response
setting forth the legal authority for withholding or redacting any information.
Gov. Code, §§ 6253, subd. (c), 6255. If you require any clarification in identifying
the responsive documents or focusing this request (Gov. Code, § 6253.1),
please contact me at margarita.maiz@lawfoundation.org or (408) 350-7226.

Request:
September
22nd, 2023
We
are requesting a copy of Gilroy's
Employee Compensation Report for the 2022
calendar year under the provisions of California Gov. Code §
7920,
the California Public Records Act.
The
purpose of this request is to obtain records which provide a complete and
comprehensive account of
Gilroy's
total costs associated with employee full names and compensation.
Specifically,
this request seeks an accounting, by full name and job title, of total gross
wages paid to each employee and the total cost incurred separately by the
employer for providing retirement and health benefits.
Note
that the State Controller’s “Government Compensation in California” report
does not contain the names of employees and therefore does not satisfy this
request.
If your response is to send us a copy of that report, that will simply delay the
process and take more of your time as we will reject it as insufficient to satisfy
this request in full.
As
a reminder, per Gov. Code §
7922.585(a)
“Nothing
in this section is intended to affect the public record status of information
merely because it is stored in a computer. Public records stored in a computer
shall be disclosed as required by this chapter.”
In
an effort to standardize how this information is reported, please include the
following categories in your response:
Employee Name (full
name, including first and last)
Position/Job Title
(“City Manager”, “Police Officer”, etc.)
Annual Salary Minimum
& Maximum
Total Regular Pay
Overtime Pay
Other Pay (any additional
forms of pay that are not reported in Regular Pay)
Retirement Contribution
Costs - All forms of employer-paid retirement contributions, deferred
compensation, etc., including Unaccrued Actuarial Liability if applicable.
Please split out per the standard State Controller’s Office categories.
Healthcare Contribution
Costs - All forms of employer-paid health and welfare benefits, such as health,
dental and vision insurance benefits.
In
the event Gilroy
is not in
possession of a record of this nature, we request copies of any other record or
records that contain information, even if only in part, that is responsive to the
purpose of this request — employee name in conjunction with their
compensation data for the period
requested.
Please
provide the requested materials or, per Gov. Code
§ 7922.535,
a timeline along which they will be made available by, no later than ten days
from the date of this request.
Per
Gov. Code §
7922.570(a),
we ask that you provide the records in an Excel
spreadsheet format. You
may provide this data to us by replying to this email and attaching your data
file.
There
is no need to password-protect your responsive data, that data will be posted
to a publicly-available website when we’ve completed our review process.
Note
that saving your original spreadsheet in the form of a PDF and sending that to
us is not sufficient.
Doing this
will simply result in a need for you to take more time to respond, given that a
PDF copy is not the original data, which is what we are requesting
As
a reminder, Gov. Code §
7922.600(a)
instructs public agencies to "assist
requester in finding records and information that are responsive to the request
or to the purpose of the request."
It
is not necessary to prepare a boilerplate PDF response document sent to us as
an attachment to email in order to respond with your ETA. We are well aware of
the legal provisions of the CPRA, do not need them reiterated, and are happy
to accept a simple response
giving us the estimated date you will be able to provide the data requested.
Please
feel free to contact us with any questions that you might have.
Thank
you.

Re:Maria Kinyon - 1208 Viognier Way, Gilroy Ca California Public Records Act
Request -
Dear Custodian of Records and City Clerk:
I am requesting access to records in possession or control of the Police
Department Animal Control for the purposes of inspection and copying
pursuant to the California Public Records Act, California Government Code §
6250 et seq. (“CPRA”), and Article I, § 3(b) of the California Constitution. The
specific records I seek to inspect and copy are listed below. As used herein,
“Record” includes “Public Records” and “Writings” as those terms are defined
at Government Code § 6252(e) & (g). I request access to inspect/copies of
documents for the animal involved in Warning of Violation Code GMC 4.23.16 at
the above referenced property, including, but not limited to the following:
1)Copies of all email and written communications regarding the above animal,
particularly those made between Police Department Animal Control and the
complainants and not subject to attorney-client privileged communication.
2)Copies of all complaints/reports made to Police Department Animal Control
by any parties or members of the public prior to [08/18/2023], including but not
limited to telephone logs, electronic communications and written
communications.
If you contend that any portion of the records requested is exempt from
disclosure by express provisions of law, Government Code § 6253(a) requires
segregation and redaction of that material in order that the remainder of the
records may be released. If you contend that any express provision of law
exists to exempt from disclosure all or a portion of the records I have
requested, Government Code § 6253(c) requires that you notify me of the
reasons for the determination not later than 10 days from your receipt of this
request. Government Code §§ 6253(d) & 6255(b) require that any response to
this request that includes a determination that the request is denied, in whole
or in part, must be in writing and include the name and title of the person(s)
responsible for the County’s response.
Government Code § 6253(d) prohibits the use of the 10-day period, or any
provisions of the CPRA or any other law, “to delay access for purposes of
inspecting public records.” In responding to this request, please keep in mind
that Article 1, § 3(b)(2) of the California Constitution expressly requires you to
broadly construe all provisions that further the public’s right of access, and to

RECOMMENDATION

During the regular meeting of the Open Government Commission on August 10, 2023,
Commissioner Somavia showcased his subcommittee’s presentation regarding hybrid
meetings. The commission unanimously approved Commissioner Somavia to draft a
letter to the City Council encapsulating the Commission’s insights on hybrid meetings.
This letter was presented to the Council as Council Correspondence during the regular
meeting on September 11, 2023. Subsequently, at the September 18, 2023 City Council
Regular Meeting, the Council invited the Open Government Commission to share their
findings in a future meeting. The Commission is now tasked with reviewing and
