Our agency has received your PRA request.
Pursuant to California Government Code section 6253(c), we write in response to the inquiry that you made to the County under the California Public Records Act, which was dated 5/22/2018, and received by the County on 5/22/2018 (the “Requests”). We are submitting this response within the ten (10) day period for response set out in Government Code section 6253(c).
Pursuant to Government Code section 6253(c), the County is exercising its right to a fourteen (14) day extension to respond to the Requests because as drafted the Requests require the need to search for and appropriately examine a potentially voluminous amount of records that are demanded in the Requests and for the County to potentially coordinate with several county departments and/or other governmental entities, departments, and agencies in responding to the Requests. Our deadline to respond is now 6/15/2018.

To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to follow up on the following California Public Records Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on May 21, 2018. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.
From: Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office
Hello,
This email is a continuation of the County’s response to your request for public records under the California Public Records Act (the “Requests”). Please note that the Requests are limited only to records maintained in the normal course of business by the County and records that are in the County’s custody and control.
Please note that we will not produce records that are privileged or otherwise exempt from disclosure pursuant to California Government Code section 6254(k). This includes documents protected by the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product, and official information privileges.
No preliminary drafts or memorandum not normally kept in the ordinary course of business will be produced pursuant to California Government Code section 6254(a). Records concerning real estate appraisals for pending acquisitions are also exempt from disclosure under California Government Code section 6254(h).
We will not produce documents that are subject to copyright protections, contain trade secrets, and/or proprietary and/or confidential information. See California Government Code sections 6253.9, 6254(k), 6254.9; California Evidence Code section 1060.
Moreover, we will not produce documents exempt from disclosure under the deliberative process privilege. See Times Mirror Co. v. Superior Court (1991) 53 Cal.3d 1325. No documents will be produced where “the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest by the disclosure of the record” under California Government Code section 6255.
Additionally, no documents will be produced if they contain personnel, medical, private, confidential, or similar files, the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy under California Government Code section 6254(c) and/or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. And, to the extent any of the records you are requesting are the subject of ongoing litigation and/or pending investigations, and/or are law enforcement investigatory records, such records are exempt from production. See Government Code sections 6254 (b), (f).
In addition, no documents or records will be produced to the extent such a production would violate California Penal Code §§ 832.7, 832.8, 11076, California Civil Code § 129, California Welfare and Intuitions Code §§ 827, 828, 831, California Business and Professions Code § 805, or California Evidence Code § 1043.
At this time, the County responds as follows: The following documents have been placed in the mail today; ICS FY1617 thru 6-30-19 and the May 2015 contracts with ICS. I have also included the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 invoices. The responsive documents are too large to send in an email
