Dear Mayor Stanton and Toni Maccarone:
This is the fourth letter I have sent you making a request for public
records and you still have not answered my questions or giving
me the public records telling me about the laws I am asking for
information on.
The last letter I sent you was sent on Monday, November 5 at 1:33 PM.
You are almost certainly in violation of Arizona Public Records laws
which is A.R.S 39 §121.
A.R.S 39 §121 says requests for public records must be answered as
soon as possible. The first letter I sent you was on October 27. So
it's been over two weeks since I sent you my request.
If you guys expect us to obey the laws you pass it would be real nice
if you tell us what the laws are when we ask about them.
Here is a repeat of what I said in my last email. Please answer my
request for public records as soon as possible.
For what purpose were you shooting the photos?
As in My original letter I asked if there were ANY laws
that cover shooting photos of ANY KIND in Phoenix
city parks.
That would be still commercial photos, still non-commercial photos
and of course still photos shot by private citizens for their own
private use.
And of course that would also be motion pictures, or videos
shot for either commercial or non-commercial purposes.
And I don't want a yes or no answer.
I want the names and numbers of the laws passed by the
Phoenix Council that cover this issue.
I also want the names and numbers of any laws passed by
the Phoenix City Council that define the definition of
commercial and non-commercial and
If it was for a commercial purpose, for example a photo
shoot for a magazine ad, you would need a permit through
the city's Film Office.
OK that is what I want. Can you tell me what law numbers in
the Phoenix City Code cover this issue?
If you were simply a visitor to the park snapping some
photos for your memories, of course you wouldn't need a permit.
That is what I thought that you don't need to get a permit or
pay the city of Phoenix any money to shoot private photos
in a city park.
Can you give me the numbers of any laws in the city of Phoenix
code that cover taking pictures in parks by private citizens,
if there are any?
Thanks

Hello Mr. Drega,
I am happy to try to help answer your question. For what purpose were you shooting the photos? If it was for a commercial purpose, for example a photo shoot for a magazine ad, you would need a permit through the city's Film Office. If you were simply a visitor to the park snapping some photos for your memories, of course you wouldn't need a permit. Please help clarify.
Thank you.
Toni

Mayor Stanton:
A week ago on Saturday, October 27 at 2:31 I sent you
an email asking for public records relating to the laws
that Phoenix has making it illegal to shoot photos in
Papago Park unless you get a permit.
You still have not responded to my request for public
records and are almost certainly in violation of
Arizona Public Record law which is A.R.S 39 §121
and says that requests for public records must be
answer as soon as possible.
Can you please answer my request for public records
as soon as possible.
Prior to that I sent you another email asking for public
records and you have not responded to that email either.
Thanks

Mayor Stanton:
We were told that it was illegal to shoot still photos in Phoenix Parks
unless you got a permit from the city of Phoenix and paid a $100 fee.
Is that true?
If it is true can you tell me what the law number is and send me a copy of the law?
Thanks
