Subject:Public Records Act request - San Luis Obispo Affordable Broadband Network (CPUC
Federal Funding Account)
To the City Clerk:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Gov. Code section 7920.000 et seq.), the requester asks for the
following public records held by City of San Luis Obispo.
This request is made in the public interest. It concerns the administration and oversight of federal broadband
infrastructure funds (the Last Mile Federal Funding Account, supported by the American Rescue Plan Act
Capital Projects Fund) that are intended to extend service to unserved California communities, and it seeks to
further public understanding of how the State allocates, disburses, and monitors those funds. The requester
asks that any fees be waived or minimized on that basis.
The request concerns a single City project, the San Luis Obispo Affordable Broadband Network, funded by the
City's grant or grants from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) under that account. The records
sought are the City's own project file.
1. The grant or award agreement between the City and the CPUC for each project, with every amendment,
extension, and modification.
2. Every request for reimbursement, payment, claim, or draw the City submitted to the CPUC for these
projects, with all attachments, invoices, backup documentation, certifications, and cover transmittals as
submitted.
3. All guidance, instructions, forms, templates, checklists, manuals, training materials, or worked examples the
CPUC or the Department of Finance provided regarding the administration of the grant, including the
preparation and submission of reimbursement requests.
4. All questions, review comments, deficiency notices, requests for additional information, or corrections the
CPUC or the Department of Finance sent regarding any reimbursement request, and the responses given.
5. Records sufficient to show, for each reimbursement request, the date of submission, the date of CPUC
approval, the date of payment, and the amount. Remittance advices, warrants, and accounting entries would
satisfy this item.
6. Any notice or direction from the CPUC to stop work, suspend work, or pause spending, and any notice
imposing a condition, setting a deadline for corrective action, or requesting a corrective action plan.
7. Any request to modify a milestone, extend a deadline, change a scope or budget, or cure a finding, and the
response received.
8. All communications between the City and the CPUC concerning these projects.
9. All communications between the City and the Department of Finance concerning these projects, including
any communication concerning whether a project is funded by the Capital Projects Fund or by State funds.
1
10. Any form titled "Capital Projects Fund December 31, 2026 Extension Request" prepared for or submitted
on behalf of any project, in the form submitted, together with any draft or earlier version.
11. All communications concerning whether an extension of the December 31, 2026 period of performance
was available, sought, prepared, or granted, including any request that this agency supply information for such
a request and any acknowledgement or approval received.
12. Any progress report submitted for these projects, and any template, example, or instruction provided for
preparing one.
13. Any communication concerning the designation of a project as funded by the Capital Projects Fund rather
than by State funds, or concerning a change in that designation.
The period runs from the inception of the projects through the date of the search.
This request is submitted by email. Under Government Code section 7922.530 an agency may not require a
requester to use a particular submission method, and this email is a valid request that begins the ten-day
determination period under section 7922.535. If your office prefers to log it in a records portal, please do so
and treat the date of this email as the date of receipt.
Notes on handling:
- Native or original electronic format is preferred where a record is maintained electronically, with attachments
intact. Electronic delivery is requested; nothing need be printed or scanned.
- If any record is withheld in whole or in part, please provide a log identifying the record, the exemption
claimed, and the factual basis, and produce all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions (Gov. Code
section 7922.525).
- Please provide a determination within 10 days (Gov. Code section 7922.535) and produce records promptly
on a rolling basis. Items 2 through 6 are the priority if rolling production is used.
- The requester is willing to discuss scope to expedite production. If costs will exceed $25, please contact the
requester before incurring them.
Thank you for your assistance.
