Due to the increased volume of such requests,many cities large <br /> and small have already had to hire additional staff dedicated solely to review documents in association <br /> with CPRA requests.Additionally,Proposition 42 places all of the cost squarely on the shoulders of local <br /> public agencies when responding to CPRA request. <br /> AB 2853 is a step in the right direction allowing cities to save staff time and resources on producing <br /> documents that are readily accessible to the public. <br /> The League supports any efforts made by the California Legislature to assist Cities with CPRA <br /> compliance.We are proud to support your measure.Should you have any questions please feel free to <br /> contact me directly at 916-658-8210. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> tkdseWr <br /> DANE HUTCHINGS <br /> Legislative Representative,League of California Cities <br /> CC: The Honorable Mark Stone,Assembly Judiciary Committee(Chair) <br /> The Honorable Donald P.Wagner,Assembly Judiciary Committee(Vice Chair) <br /> Assembly Judiciary Committee <br /> Tom Clark,Assembly Judiciary Committee(Staff Counsel) <br /> Paul Dress,Judiciary Consultant,Assembly Republican Caucus <br /> 171 Page <br />
