CITY OF SOUTH BEND LEGAL DEPARTMENT <br /> ANNUAL REPORT—2018 <br /> Tapes Case <br /> Successfully utilized nuanced case law to interplead the tapes in the "tapes case." The City <br /> was dismissed as a litigating party in the "tapes case" and remains solely as the custodian of <br /> the tapes until either an agreement is reached between the former officers and the Common <br /> Council, or the Judge makes a ruling on the legality of the tapes.The City will comply with <br /> any and all orders pertaining to the tapes, ensuring that it does not violate the Federal <br /> Wiretap Act. <br /> Excellent Services and Efficient Processes <br /> The Legal Department fields questions from the public,especially requests for public <br /> records, ticket appeals, and claims. We strive to provide equitable, timely service, <br /> supporting our administration's goals of Transparency. <br /> Access to Public Records Act(APRA) Requests <br /> The Department received a record number of public records requests in 2018, at a total of <br /> 2,971 requests received and processed with no violations. <br /> The Administration's APRA total is now 15,607 requests received and processed since 2012. <br /> APRAs Received and Processed <br /> 2018 <br /> 2017 <br /> 2016 <br /> 2015 <br /> 2014 <br /> 2013 <br /> 2012 <br /> 0 2000 4000 6000 8000 10000 12000 14000 16000 18000 <br /> Annual •Cumulative <br /> Ticket Appeals <br /> Resolved 413 ticket appeals in 2017,a 4.8%increase from 2017. <br /> 9IPage <br />
