Opinion Letter No. 96-02

Individuals' Identities in Honolulu City Ethics Commission Opinions
Confidential
In most cases, the identities of individuals who
are subjects of, or who are referred to in, the Honolulu
Ethics Commission’s advisory opinions are confidential under
the UIPA’s "clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy" exception. The UIPA’s exception
to disclosure based upon "the
frustration of a legitimate government function" also applies
and makes the requesters’ identities
confidential. Additionally, the OIP advised the City Council that
a charter or ordinance requiring
disclosure of these individual’s identities would not supersede
the UIPA’s disclosure exceptions.
