Thank you, Mindy Cuppy, City Clerk Office of the City Clerk City of Sacramento 915 I Street, 5th Floor New City Hall Sacramento, CA 95814 June 30, 2026, 2:01pm by Staff Requester + Staff Message to requester The City is researching and identifying records that may be responsive to your request and additional time is necessary to properly respond to your request due to the volume of materials required to be searched, collected, and examined for responsiveness (permitted under Government Code 7922.535 (c)(2)). We will notify you on or before Tuesday, July 14th 2026 as to whether the City is in possession of non-exempt records responsive to your request. Thank you, Mindy Cuppy, City Clerk Office of the City Clerk City of Sacramento 915 I Street, 5th Floor New City Hall Sacramento, CA 95814 June 30, 2026, 1:39pm by Staff Requester + Staff Message from requester This is a timely response to the City's June 26, 2026 message on Request #26-2491. I am not requesting public disclosure of any private telephone number for Karin Owens or any other non-City person. Any private telephone numbers appearing in responsive records may be redacted. The request is for City records of public-business communications, message metadata, search records, and related delivery/channel records concerning Case 23-009185 / 4880 T Street. The request already identifies the relevant case, property, participants, date range, subject matter, and attached screenshot: Paul Lovato / Karin Owens texts and delivery-channel records for the August 20-21, 2025 inspection cancellation / Case 23-009185, including the attached screenshot of an SMS thread labeled "Paul." The City's own case record also refers to communications/call activity involving Karin Owens and Paul Lovato during the August 21, 2025 access event. Those public-business communications, if retained, should be searched from City/Lovato custody and from the City's own case, device, account, custodian, telecom, MDM, backup, or retention/search records. Please proceed with all searches that can be performed from the information already supplied, including but not limited to Paul Lovato's City-issued or City-managed phone line/device/account, City email-to-text or message systems, Teams or other City messaging systems, mobile-device-management/telecom records, backups/exports, the case file/contact fields, and any personal device/account used by Paul Lovato to conduct City business. Please also conduct the necessary custodian inquiry to Paul Lovato for responsive messages or message metadata on any account/device he used for City business, consistent with City of San Jose v. Superior Court (2017) 2 Cal.5th 608. If the City contends that one specific system cannot be searched without a private non-City phone number, please do not treat that as a basis to stop processing the request. Please identify the specific system, the specific search field required, what searches were completed without that number, whether Paul Lovato was asked to search or produce his responsive communications, whether any City case/contact record contains the identifying information the City says it needs, and produce all reasonably segregable responsive records and all records reflecting the search, retention, non-retention, deletion, custodian inquiry, or determination. Please preserve and continue processing the request. This response is intended to clarify that I seek the City's public records and search/determination records, not disclosure of private phone numbers.
