PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT
Laurie Ortolano 41 Berkeley Street. | just wanted to talk to you for a couple minutes about some Right to
Know issues. | had put in, and | am concerned about this because of the legislation that is being proposed
to charge residents for time being used by administrators when you exceed a certain amount each month.
You all know | put in plenty of Right to Know requests. One of the Right to Know requests | put in was on
August 13" and | took this specific contract language from the KRT Contract and requested their returned
documentation. The City took the position that all of that language, all of those requests were going to be
denied with the exception of one piece on the basis that anything that KRT returned was considered “draft
material’. And as “draft material” it wasn’t available for public viewing. That’s going to be something we
challenge in Court soon here | think. Because the way the City works right now an assessor will take a
property card and go out to a home and mark it up “draft form” but that is stapled to the changed card and it
is in the file and the public can review that. Basically KRT took all these forms and returned them. We
didn’t ask them to staple them to all of our property cards because it probably would have taken too much
time.
Anyway the City said what they said but they said that there was one thing they would deliver and it was
the Hearing sheets. It kept getting stalled and the reason | found out about Hearing Sheets, | didn’t know
these Hearing Sheets existed and we met with the president of KRT: was because as | was gathering
property files, record files over at City Hall | was finding Hearing Sheets in the files from people who went to
the second hearing.
