handle is hein.sag/sagar0113 and id is 1 raw text is: 7, f ., f STATE OF ARKANSAS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL LESLIE RUTLEDGE Opinion No. 2020-063 January 5, 2021 Karen Withers c/o City of Little Rock HR Department 500 W. Markham, Suite 130W Little Rock, AR 72201-1428 Dear Ms. Withers: You have requested my opinion regarding the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Your request, which is made as the subject of the records request, is based on Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(c)(3)(B)(i) (Supp. 2019). This subdivision authorizes the custodian, requester, or the subject of certain employee-related records to seek an opinion from this office stating whether the custodian's decision regarding the release of such records is consistent with the FOIA. Your correspondence includes the notice you received from the City of Little Rock stating that the City has received a request under the FOIA for picture identification, personnel and disciplinary records for city personnel that resigned in the last five (5) years. The City's custodian of records has determined that this information is part of your personnel record and is releasable after redacting sensitive personal information such as address, date of birth, telephone number or social security number. You object to the release of the records based on the requester's use of information in the past, and you have asked for my opinion whether the custodian's decision to the release the records is consistent with the FOIA. RESPONSE Because I have not seen any records that would be responsive to the instant FOIA request, I cannot opine about the releasability of any specific document or the need to redact any specific piece of information from an otherwise releasable document. 323 CENTER STREET, SUITE 200 * LITTLE RocK, ARKANSAS 72201 TELEPHONE (501) 682-2007 - FAX (501) 682-8084 INTERNET WEBSITE - http://www.ag.state.ar.us/
