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 - Philly Mayor Fair Workweek comments Request #: 28977 Dear Peter Fugiel: 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resubmit your request as a written request pursuant to the RTKL, the City will deem your informal request to have been withdrawn.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. Respectfully, Feige Grundman Chief Deputy City Solicitor Right to Know Unit City of Philadelphia Law Department Tracking #: Fugiel 28977 Request Summary: All written communications received by the Mayor's Office from lobbyists or the general public during the period 1/1/2018–12/31/2018 concerning the Fair Workweek Law (File No. 180649).

Dear Public Records Officer,

Please find attached a Right to Know Request for written communications
received by the Mayor's Office from lobbyists or the general public during
the period 1/1/2018–12/31/2018 concerning the Fair Workweek Law (File No.
180649). Please note that I am using the MuckRock website to manage this
request and ensure that any records released are available to the general
public. A previous version of this request (#28977) was deemed "informal"
because it used an outdated version of the request form. I am now
submitting a standard request form for the same records under the
Pennsylvania Right to Know Law.

I am requesting these records for non-commercial research purposes. I would
prefer that the request be filled electronically, if possible, by e-mail
attachment. 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.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I
look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business
days, as the statute requires.
