public's business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of
physical form or characteristics. (Gov. Code §6254, subd. (e).) Public records within the coverage
of the California Public Records Act are open to inspection at all times during the office hours of
the state or local agency, and every person has a right to inspect any public record except as
statutorily provided. Any reasonably segregable portion of a record must be available for
inspection by any person requesting the record after deletion of the portions that are exempted by
law. (Gov. Code §6254, subd. (e).) The fact that a public record may contain some confidential
information does not justify withholding the entire document; if only part of a record is exempt,
the agency is required to produce the remainder if segregable. (County of Santa Clara v. Superior
Ct. (2009) 170 Cal.App.4th 1301.)
