Document		MO-2771


File #		MA10-361


Institution/HIC		City of Vaughan


Summary		The appellant sought certain records from 2006 and 2007 relating to the cellular/blackberry invoices from two telephone companies for two individuals (the former mayor and a former employee of the mayor’s office). The city located some responsive records and provided partial access to them, denying access to portions of them on the basis of section 14(1) (personal privacy). The city also stated that some of the responsive records were not in its custody or control. The appellant appealed the city’s decision, and also claimed that additional records should exist, raising concerns about the adequacy of the city’s search. This order determines that information about the locations to which calls were made or received is not personal information and ought to be disclosed, but that the telephone numbers of individuals contacting the mayor’s office is the personal information of those individuals. This order also determines that some of the searches conducted for records were not reasonable, and orders further searches to be conducted. In addition, it determines that the city has control of the former mayor’s detailed invoices, and the city is ordered to obtain copies of the invoices and issue an access decision.
