Dear City Clerk:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I am requesting records concerning the sanitary sewer,

Arlington Addition, Block 5, Lots 45 and 46
Please search records under both 1215 Bond Street and 1219 Bond Street, as well as APN 052-201-006
and the legal parcel description, because records concerning the property may have historically been
indexed under different addresses.
I am particularly seeking records that may identify or explain the private sewer system shown for this
parcel in the City’s Sewer Lateral Portal, including the parcel’s inclusion in the GIS layer titled
“Parcels with Private Sewer Systems - Inspection upon sale not required.”

• All non-displayed GIS attributes, notes, comments, identifiers, dates, source information, inspection
information, system classifications, and related fields associated with that record.
• Records explaining the meaning of “Private Sewer System” as used for this GIS layer and the criteria or
basis for including APN 052-201-006 in it.

sewer lateral inspection or condition is listed as unknown, if applicable.

The purpose of identifying these sources is to ensure that records predating the City’s current electronic
permit systems are included in the search.
Electronic production and costs
I request responsive records electronically in their existing electronic format where available.
For databases, GIS records, spreadsheets, or tabular records, I request the existing electronic record or
export, such as CSV, XLSX, PDF, shapefile, GeoJSON, or other readily available format, rather than a
printed copy where reasonably available.
If fulfillment of any portion of this request would result in a fee, please notify me in advance of the
amount, the reason for the fee, and the records to which the fee applies before incurring the cost.
I am not requesting printed copies unless electronic production is unavailable and I subsequently
authorize the cost.
If copies of copyrighted architectural or building plans require owner and/or architect/engineer
authorization, please do not treat that restriction as a reason to withhold or delay other responsive
records. Please provide all other responsive records and identify the plans that are available for in-
person inspection.

If records cannot be located
If the City has no responsive records for a particular category above, I would appreciate identification of
the department or records system searched, where reasonably possible.
If another City department is the custodian of responsive records, please forward or coordinate this
request with that department as appropriate rather than limiting the search to records maintained
directly by the City Clerk’s Office.
If records responsive to this request are withheld or redacted, please identify the applicable basis for
withholding or redaction.
Thank you for your assistance. Please provide responsive records electronically to this email address.
