The County has determined that responding to your Request will require both of the following: (1) the need to search for and collect the requested records from field facilities or other establishments that are separate from the office processing the request; and (2) the need to search for, collect, and appropriately examine a voluminous amount of separate and distinct records. In addition, it is likely that your Request will also require the County to compile data or construct a computer report to extract data, and to consult with another agency having substantial interest in the determination of the request. Based on the foregoing, the County has determined that unusual circumstances exist, which necessitate the extension of the County’s time to respond to your request. (Government Code section 6253, subdivision (c)(1)-(4).) Due to the recent state of emergency ordered by the County, state, and federal governments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and County staff availability and workload in response to the emergency, the County will, as time allows, work to locate and examine documents that may be responsive to your request. As the emergency is rapidly evolving, at this time the County is not able to provide a date in which this work will be completed. Should you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Attached to E-Mail: Request dated March 22, 2020 -----Original Message----- From: raylutz@citizensoversight.org Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2020 5:31 PM To: Orth, Brandi Subject: Public Records Request -- Ballot Images of 2020 Primary Election CAUTION!!! - EXTERNAL EMAIL - THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK To: Brandi L.
