She referred to the Public Records Act and claimed she was denied access to records regarding the D.A.R.E. Program. She referred to the Childrens Theatre Workshop and alleged the City of Pleasanton concealed its financial condition. She wanted access to all records regarding this program and any other nonprofit organizations that the City deals with. Ms. Acosta indicated the files on the Rotary housing project were shared with Ms. McCullough and she has seen the CTW files in the Parks and Community Services Department. Similar files regarding the D.A.R.E. Program do not exist, because it is an on-going program. There is not one place where the operational documents would be kept. If there is a nonprofit group funded by the City, then there are a variety of files. She did not expect there was a series of ongoing files concerning the operation of D.A.R.E. She also indicated that sometimes a citizen reads a letter from the podium or material is given directly to Council at meetings, and 09/10/96 -1-
