Dear DEQ,

Recent documents obtained from DEQ showing work done on Molalla wastewater issues in Sept 2017 reflected the fact that a "Richwine" report about Molalla's facilities was a key to proceeding with producing an enforceable MAO. Please note below the refusal of the City of Molalla to release the document. I will contest this refusal to the Clackamas County District Attorney - but my point to you is how long will you wait for City of Molalla to forward the report that clearly exists before you enforce the growing violations and/or demand that the City of Molalla agree to a MAO?

Please explain the delay in any progress in reaching a MAO or else proceeding to whatever legal step is next.

Sincerely,

Susan Hansen

Susan,

As you may know, the City of Molalla is in transition between City Recorders. The City has hired a new recorder who begins in a couple weeks. The new recorder will be responsible for bringing the council minutes up to date. As an alternative, you can keep informed by watching the meetings on Facebook. Please click on the link below to access the meetings:

In response to your information request received October 25, 2017 related to Dyer Partnership and Richwine Environmental’s assessments of Molalla’s wastewater infrastructure and needed upgrades and/or new facility, the Dyer Partnership is currently in the process of updating the City’s wastewater master plan and has not provided the City with any assessments as described in your request. As such, there are no documents from Dyer responsive to your request. When such documents are produced by Dyer, they will be made public. There is one document that is responsive to your request from Richwine. That document, however, was produced on behalf of and for our attorneys for the purpose of assisting them in providing legal advice to the City. As a result, that document is covered by the attorney client privilege and is exempt from disclosure under ORS 192.502(9)(a), which incorporates ORS 40.225 into the Public Records Act.

Hello,

When do you expect to produce minutes from the past several city council meetings? How can the public follow meetings if there are no minutes from past meetings?

Please note I filed a info request last week for reports which could be readily available, esp. report or reports from Dale Richwine environmental firm. I look forward to either an appointment to read the requested documents in city hall or electronic transmission.
