To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) All contracts, memorandums of understanding, data sharing agreements, statements of work, and progress reports regarding the city of Los Angeles' smart city public-private partnership with AT&T. More information about the partnership can be found here: https://about.att.com/story/2018/la_smart_city_ppp.html
2) All contracts, memorandums of understanding, data sharing agreements, statements of work, and progress reports regarding the city of Los Angeles' Urban Movement Labs public private partnership. This should include agreements between the city and all the founding members of the UML, including Avis, Verizon, Lyft, and Waymo.
3) All contracts, memorandums of understanding, data sharing agreements, statements of work, and progress reports regarding the city of Los Angeles' smart city partnerships with universities.
4) All contracts, memorandums of understanding, data sharing agreements, statements of work, and progress reports regarding the city of Los Angeles' participation in the Ignite Cities.
5) All emails sent to or received by Mayor Eric Garcetti and/or Amanda Daflos from email addresses from the domain "@ignitecities.com" since Jan. 1, 2019.
I ask that all fees be waived as I am a journalist (examples of my work can be found at toddfeathers.com) and intend to use the requested records to publish articles in the public interest. In the event that you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of the costs, including the hourly wages of any personnel assigned to process the request and estimates of how many hours the request will take them to process.
Should you choose to deny access to or redact records responsive to this request, I ask that you provide a detailed explanation of your reasoning--as required by law--citing the specific statutes and case law on which each decision is based.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Todd Feathers
