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

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
