The Complainant alleged the City violated the APRA when it withheld documents responsive to his APRA request for records related to certain real property. This Office concluded that the City violated the APRA when its initial response to Complainant's request did not provide any specific reasons for the denial and instead only made the general assertion that the withheld documents were not public records. This Office directed the City to provide a supplemental submission providing any and all documents responsive to the Complainant's request for an in camera review and addressing why the City's belated assertion of Exemption B should not be deemed waived. The City should also address whether any APRA violation committed by the City was knowing and willful, or reckless. VIOLATION FOUND.
