Case Status: Affirmed by Common Pleas

Isenberg, Kelly

Northampton

The 2 Item Request sought all communications, including emails, memos, notes, and text messages, between identified Borough officials, employees and the solicitor for a specific timeframe for a list of 12 topics and a list of all employees hired by the Borough outside of the Public Works Department since January 1, 2022, that contains a list of categories of information for each employee. The Request may not be modified on appeal. The Borough's interpretation of Item 1, was reasonable. The Borough has proven that no additional records responsive to Item 1 exist. The Borough proved that some records are protected by the attorney-client privilege. The Borough proved that no responsive exist for Item 2, but the Borough exercised its discretion to provide responsive information in another format. Borough failed to certify the responsive records. The record does not support a finding of bad faith. Granted in part, denied in part, dismissed as moot in part.
