Policy
Procedures for Obtaining Records:
- Request for access to a public record may be made orally or
in writing to the legal custodian of the department believed to
have the records desired. Upon receiving the request, the legal
custodian, if not the City Clerk, shall notify the City Clerk.
- Request for access to, and inspection of, any public records
may be made during City Hall hours, Monday through Friday,

- A request for access to a public record must reasonably
describe the record sought. If the City Clerk, after conferring
with the City Attorney and City Administrator, determines that a
written request is so general as to be unduly time consuming,
the party making the request my first be required to itemize his
or her request which would permit reasonable compliance.
- The City Clerk shall either fill the request as soon as
practicable and without delay, or notify the requester of the
authority’s determination to deny the request in whole or in
part with reasons for denial.
- A photocopying fee will be charged to obtain copies of
