§ 1.12.050. Exemptions for particular records.

This code article shall not be consistent to require disclosure of the following records or information:

A.

Personnel, payroll or medical files which reveal the financial or medical status of any specific individual, the release of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy;

B.

Records of vital statistics and adoption proceedings;

C.

Records pertaining to juveniles;

D.

Medical and related public health records;

E.

Records required to be kept confidential by federal law or regulation or by state law;

F.

Trade secrets;

G.

Patented and/or copyrighted materials;

H.

Organized, coordinated, collated, modified, created, interpreted or compiled information. Nothing in this chapter requires an agency to organize, coordinate, collate, modify, create, interpret or compile records requested. Only a literal or verbatim record need be provided;

I.

Police investigation compiled by any agency as a part of an investigation of criminal activity, except that such records may be released to other governmental agencies if necessary for the proper administration of justice. Police information practices in regard to criminal justice information shall be governed by the provisions of AS 12-62.010 et seq.;

J.

Records held by the city of Hoonah or any public utility pertaining to any client, customer, tenant, operator, user or subscriber, the release of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy of the person or entity;

K.

Records of engineering, marketing, accounting or other technical data, which, if released, would provide a competitive advantage to any other persons or business engaged in similar or related activities;

L.

Proprietary information which a manufacturer, consultant or provider reasonably expects to be kept privileged or confidential to protect the property interests of persons providing the information or data;

M.

City personnel records, including employment application and examination materials;

N.

Communications between any agency and the city attorney which contain legal questions concerning potential, pending or actual litigation. This subsection does not protect from disclosure documents which were public records prior to the commencement of the litigation, and public records which are otherwise subject to the disclosure may not be protected from disclosure by mere submission to the attorney. Any documents marked "confidential" which are submitted to an agency from the city attorney's office shall only be produced if the city attorney so authorizes.
