That’s the same thing we’d be <br />able to do if we responded to the - <br />MARTIN: Annual report. <br />CORREA: Legislature, or the annual report. We do that sort of thing. But, under the 92F section, it does <br />state that when you are able to disclose records to any other agency, that that agency has to find it <br />necessary for it’s duties and functions for that information to be disclosed, before we’re authorized to <br />disclose it.

It’s the same situation that we <br />have here. <br />IRVINE: You sure? <br />CORREA: But Corporation Counsel represents all Commissions like they do here. <br />WURDEMAN: Well, unless it’s changed, it was never under the Corporation Counsel before, but I <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 10-27-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
