Who can initiate a Public Records request?

Anyone may initiate a request for public records.

What type of information can I request?
Public Records requests may be used to obtain “agency records,” which include a wide variety of documents and other materials (including print, photographic, and electronic formats) that were created or obtained by a city agency and are, at the time the request is filed, in the department’s possession and control. The Public Records Act excludes certain categories of records from disclosure, including materials related to internal agency rules, proprietary business information, inter- and intra-agency communications that are protected by legal privileges, and personal privacy.

Some commonly requested items include:

• Agendas and Reports
• Minutes
• Ordinances
• Resolutions
• Contracts and Agreements
• Business License Information
• Building Permits

How soon must a city agency respond to my request?
A city agency receiving a request for documents under the Public Records Act has ten days in which to respond to the request.

How much will I be charged for my request?
Fees for copies are $0.60 cents for the first page and $0.10 for each additional page. If the record is maintain and available in electronic format the records will be emailed to you at no charge.
