May 29, 2026 denial follow-up notices - sanitized public summary

Sanitized public summary of two May 29 follow-up notices after the City's May 28 denial of the May 15 APD / City Attorney records request. The official custodian reply challenged the blanket likely-litigation and attorney-client labels, demanded segregation and production of nonexempt operational records, requested a record-by-record exemption index, and renewed preservation demands. A separate direct notice to the City Attorney stated Greyson's position that the City Attorney's field-related role, privilege assertions, conflict questions, and potential civil-rights exposure must be preserved and answered through records. The Linn County DA petition remains a next step, not a filed event in this public summary.
