Tribunal denies motion to quash subpoena; counsel tenders affidavit of compliance

Respondent counsel asked the tribunal to quash a subpoena served on the respondent in late July, arguing the City Council had not unconditionally delegated subpoena authority to the petitioners and that the subpoena lacked proper authority. Petitioners countered that the City Charter and prior procedural rulings allowed the subpoena. The tribunal denied the motion to quash and ordered production.

Following the denial, respondent counsel tendered an "affidavit of compliance" and several exhibits to the city secretary to show production efforts and described repeated attempts to retrieve archived call logs and provider records. Petitioners and counsel noted the tendered materials did not include full raw phone bills or invoices the petitioners had requested and reserved the right to seek further compliance or rebuttal testimony. The tribunal marked the tendered materials and continued with deposition excerpts and live witness testimony.
