PI snooping into Sayles' e-mails to police chief

A Livermore-based private investigator has now submitted a California Public Records Act request to Lathrop City Hall seeking all e-mails between Mayor Kristy Sayles and Lathrop Police Chief Dolores Delgado from Aug. 1, 2007 to present.It covers the time when Delgado was away from work due to an injury.It marks the second time the private investigation firm of J.D. Maurer & Associates has submitted a public records request involving Sayles. On July 30, the PI submitted a public records request for Lathrop Police incident history and 911 tapes from Sayles' home address.The latest request asks for:• All e-mails between Sayles and Delgado from Aug. 1, 2007 to present.• All e-mail to kristysayles@aol.com from any city originating email address including but not limited to ksayles@ci.lathrop.ca.us from the time Sayles was a council member to the present.• All copies of telephone records for any telephone and/or cellular telephone, PDA, smart phone issued to Sayles.Sayles has indicated she does not have an issued city-owned cell phone.The original request asked for:• an incident history of anything that may have occurred at the mayor's home from Jan 1, 2005 and July 30, 2008.• a copy of all 911 tapes for any and all calls that occurred between June 1, 2008 and July 30, 2008 in reference to or that originated from the mayor's house.• a copy of the computer aided dispatch for any incident that occurred between June 1, 2008 and July 30, 2008 that was in reference to the mayor's home.Sayles said that she does recall making two 911 calls but that was last year around March when her child in her care was having seizures.Since the first request was made and Sayles was aware of someone poking into her personal life - court records involving divorces and civil matters that have nothing to do with her duties as an elected official for the City of Lathrop - a slick anonymous website has popped up listing personal information plus comments that aren't exactly flattering to Sayles. The website's address is www.kristysayles.comShopping into the personal background of a candidate that the opposition wants to take out is reminiscent of what Monte McCall did on behalf of San Joaquin County Supervisor Leroy Ornelas' opponents when he first ran for office. At that time, the Sheriff Baxter Dunn had his staff dig through old booking forms from the 1960s when Ornelas was a teen and was detained because he was in the company of another minor who was wanted at the time in connection with a crime.
