DPLU Denial Of Access To Documents

DPLU denial of CPRA request for Blackwater technical studies - I was given this document (DPLU_denial_of_access_to_technical_studies_3-29-07.pdf) and was told by the new planner (Jarrett Ramaiya) that there were "Several boxes" of information that were not being disclosed to the public. (Read my Declaration Regarding DPLUDenial Of Access.) This document references 6254(a) which states:

Preliminary Drafts, Notes, Memoranda
(a) Preliminary drafts, notes, or interagency or intra-agency memoranda that are not retained by the public agency in the ordinary course of business, provided that the public interest in withholding those records clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.

And the section 6255 states:

Justification Required for Denying Access to Records; Written Response to Written Request
6255. (a) The agency shall justify withholding any record by demonstrating that the record in question is exempt under express provisions of this chapter or that on the facts of the particular case the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record.
(b) A response to a written request for inspection or copies of public records that includes a determination that the request is denied, in whole or in part, shall be in writing.
