Case No. 91-WPC-1
JAMES L. SEDA
v.
WHEAT RIDGE SANITATION DISTRICT
Case No. 91-WPC-2
JEFF WALTERS
v.
WHEAT RIDGE SANITATION DISTRICT
Case No. 91-WPC-3
PHILLIP J. WATHIER
v.
WHEAT RIDGE SANITATION DISTRICT
DISTRICT'S MOTION TO PARTIALLY QUASH SUBPOENAS OF
BOARD MEMBERS
Respondent Wheat Ridge Sanitation District ("District")
hereby moves for an Order partially quashing the subpoenas issued to the
five members of the Board of the District.
The ALJ, at the request of the attorneys for the three
applicants, issued subpoenas upon the five members of the Board.
Among the documents which these individuals are to bring include
"all other documents in your possession concerning . . . District
operations". Literally construed, this document request
encompasses every single document in the possession of the
District, including: (1) employee time records; (2) office staff
monthly reports regarding expenditures; (3) payroll records; (4)
monthly bills from the District to its customers; (5) invoices to
the District from various suppliers, etc.; (6) MSDS; (7) DMRS, lab
reports; (8) many other documents.
These documents are literally thousands upon thousands in
number. Production of these documents at the scheduled hearing
would pose a significant logistic problem, would require the
displacement of many files and cabinets, would bring considerable
disruption to the District and impair its operating abilities.
documents appear to have no relevance whatsoever to this
proceeding.
WHEREFORE, the District moves to partially quash the subpoenas
served upon the Board members to the extent that such subpoenas
require production of "all other documents . . . concerning . . .
District operations".
