PR 20-03 Lopez v. City of Providence – No Violation

The Complainant alleged that the City violated the APRA when it improperly denied two APRA requests seeking approved permits and email communications related to the "Small Cell Siting Act." The City responded to both requests indicating that it did not maintain responsive documents. The Complainant does not dispute the City's contention that no approved permits exist that are responsive to the Complainant's first request. The City submitted an affidavit attesting to the search efforts undertaken to locate email communications potentially responsive to the Complainant's second request and we were not provided with evidence to refute the City's attestations that it conducted a reasonable search and no responsive emails exist. Accordingly, we find no violation.
