<br />RD: A question for Corporation Counsel. <br /> <br />IK: Yeah. <br /> <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 /> <br />IK: Um, no, you don’t. It’s probably just best to go as – submit as an individual. <br /> <br />RD: Citizen? <br /> <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 /> <br />RD: If we would need a, um, motion to actually put our name GMAC in UIPA? <br /> <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 /> <br />LT: Is that, um… <br /> <br />IK: Yeah, so you would just it on… <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />LT: Yeah, OK. Yeah, it’s a public thing not a... <br /> <br />IK: Yeah, I would have to look into it but, yeah, it just doesn’t seem like… <br /> <br />LT: Yeah. <br /> <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 /> <br />
