RD: A question for Corporation Counsel. <br /> IK: Yeah. <br /> RD: Can a District Commissioner do a UIPA on their own or does it—does a UIPA or FOYA <br /> going to an agency—can a district—say I'm with— I am a district GMAC Commissioner, <br /> and I would like this information. <br /> IK: Um, no, you don't. It's probably just best to go as—submit as an individual. <br /> RD: Citizen? <br /> IK: Yeah, yeah, because it's meant for the public and I would have to do some digging about <br /> how it would... <br /> RD: If we would need a, um, motion to actually put our name GMAC in UIPA? <br /> IK: I wouldn't go that far. You can just—it would probably be more effective if you just <br /> submit it as a citizen because I'm not really sure, you know, you're a county official <br /> sending a UIPA request. I don't really know; I would have to look into that. But they <br /> would have to release records regardless to a member of the public and then if you <br /> wanted to bring it up as part of the meeting, you can just address it as long as it's an <br /> agenda item. <br /> LT: Is that, um... <br /> IK: Yeah, so you would just it on... <br /> RD: So as a chair, so for example, like as a chair in an investigative committee of which I <br /> have for federal funds, I've sent out UIPAs requesting information for stating that this is <br /> an investigative committee with GMAC. Is that appropriate? <br /> IK: I would have to look into it. Um... Yeah, because I know it governs the public interests, <br /> right, and as commissioners you're technically part of the County, but it's not like you <br /> can't act in your individual capacity... <br /> LT: Yeah, OK. Yeah, it's a public thing not a... <br /> IK: Yeah, I would have to look into it but, yeah, it just doesn't seem like... <br /> LT: Yeah. <br /> IK: It's not like that would be more effective, I don't think... Um, but as a member of the <br /> public you have a right to know about everything that's going on. <br /> 33 <br />
