Dear sirs:

I received your letter of September 3, 2018, regarding a California Public
Records Act (CPRA) request you submitted to the City Attorney's Office on
September 7, 2016. I believe my Office satisfied your request back in 2016,
but I am trying to confirm that and will require additional time to do so.
I will have a final response to you at least by September 27--and, I hope,
well before then.

If it turns out that I am mistaken, and my Office did not satisfy your
request back in 2016, please accept my apologies. In that case I shall make
sure my Office does so as soon as it practically can.

Thank you for your continuing patience. I appreciate it.

Dear sirs:

My apologies that it has taken a long time to get back to you. It took a
long time to determine that, it appears, we failed to produce documents to
you before. We are in the process of collecting documents to satisfy your
request. I estimate it will take another month before we have the document
ready to produce to you.

We are still in the process of collecting records. My apologies that this
is taking longer than I expected. I estimate that my Office will require an
additional two weeks to have the documents ready to produce.

Mr. Cantu,

Please find attached the non-exempt documents in response to your Public
Records Act requests concerning Freeport McMoRan or Breitburn. My apologies
that this took a while, but we we looking to make sure we located all of
the responsive records. (The production may be over-inclusive, as we erred
on the side of producing all non-exempt documents even mentioning Freeport
McMoRan or Breitburn.) Note that some documents are entirely attorney
work-product privileged, and have been withheld, and others are partially
work-product privileged, and have been redacted, per the exemption in
Government Code section 6254(k).
