UPDATE: Still waiting for the police report...
UPDATE (4:38 p.m.) : Laura Nieto from the city clerk's office called around 3:10 p.m. to let me know the records were ready. And they waived the fee.
12:05 P.M. I just got the response to my public records request that I submitted Sept. 22 to the Baldwin Park City Clerk's office. I requested the police report taken for the incident involving Councilman Anthony Bejarano. I also requested the number of drunk of public arrests made in the past month.
According to a letter I received by the Baldwin Park City Clerk's office, the city needs an additional 14 days to answer my request.
The state's open meeting law, the California Public Records Act, allows for the additional two weeks after the initial 10 day required to respond to a record's act under the following provisions:
An agency has 10 days to decide if copies will be provided. In "unusual" cases (request is "voluminous," seeks records held off-site, OR requires consultation with other agencies), the agency may, upon written notice to the requesters, give itself an additional 14 days to respond. (§ 6253(c)) These time periods may not be used solely to delay access to the records. (§ 6253(d))
I wouldn't consider my request "voluminous," but perhaps the report needs to get consultation from the attorney's office. Even so, it appears to be taking a long time to answer a request to get a copy of the police report.

Could you look into Mayor Ernie Gutierrez of El Monte?
He has several accidents? Drunk driving every time. Now that is worth looking into. Thanks.
Can you also look into John Solis of La Puente and his involvement in a murder investigation and impersonating a police officer?
Could you look into the driving records of every elected official in the San Gabriel Valley. I think there is rampent drunken driving afoot and it needs to be exposed.
This guy is a major loser along with the rest of the council. When your brain is pickled it doesn't know what is the truth and what is going on in the meetings and to say he is so hard up he is going to sue someone to get business operating capital for slander when he has slandered numerous people in the recorded meetings this will be a funny almost as funny as seeing his arrest in the paper keep it up boy wonder.
Could you also investigate if Gilman wears women's panties?
