CITY OF PHILADELPHIA LAW DEPARTMENT One Parkway Building 1515 Arch Street Philadelphia, PA 19102 Renee Garcia City Solicitor BY EMAIL: requests@muckrock.com Re: Mayor's Office - Return to Office email 1/1/24-7/14/24 Request #: 28701 Dear Brandon Galbraith: Thank you for writing to the City of Philadelphia (City) with your request for information. This correspondence serves as an acknowledgement and receipt of your request as well as notice of the City’s Open Records Policy pursuant to the Right-to-Know Law. Written requests for records to state and local agencies in Pennsylvania are generally governed by the Commonwealth’s Right-to-Know Law (RTKL), 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-67.3104. In accordance with the RTKL, the City has promulgated an Open Records Policy, which requires the standard statewide Right-to-Know Form be used for the submission of written requests pursuant to the RTKL. See 65 P.S. § 67.504(a); Dekok v. Lancaster County, AP 2010-1197, 2011 PA O.O.R.D. LEXIS 25 at *5 and n.1 (Pa. O.O.R. Jan. 17, 2011) (holding that in accordance with the RTKL, an agency may adopt a policy requiring the use of the standard statewide form established by the Office of Open Records in order to file a RTK Request); accord Pa. Gaming Control Bd. v. Office of Open Records, 48 A.3d 503 (Pa. Cmmw. 2012). As your request was not submitted on or with the standard statewide form, the City does not consider your request to be a Right-to-Know Request pursuant to the RTKL and will process it as an informal request. You do not have to resubmit your request for the City to respond unless you are specifically informed otherwise. The City reserves the right to require a formal RTK Request be submitted pursuant to the RTKL before releasing records. The City is continuing to process the request you have submitted as an informal request outside the RTKL and will be in touch with you further to respond to your request. However, if you would like to file a RTK Request, please submit your request on or with the standard statewide Right-to-Know Form and email your request to righttoknowlaw@phila.gov – please do not reply to this email. Please include this notice with your RTK Request. Please note that if you resubmit your request as a written request pursuant to the RTKL, the City will deem your informal request to have been withdrawn. The City’s Open Records Policy can be found here: https://www.phila.gov/open-records-policy/ The statewide form appears at the end of the City’s Open Records Policy. If you require a hard copy of the form and/or policy, please let me know and one will be provided. The City reserves the right to assert any and all grounds of denial in its final response to your request.
