The public has the right to information produced by their government with certain privacy limitations. It is the policy of the City Clerk's office to provide assistance in obtaining that information.
HOW TO OBTAIN INFORMATION: You may obtain information from the City in a variety of ways.
1. Request it in person, by telephone, writing, FAX, or e-mail to receive the information.
2. Or, request it under the Freedom of Information Act, which will implement the procedure under the Act.
3. The City Clerk’s policy is to immediately give upon request, all public information that is filed in this office. Occasionally, when receiving large requests, we may require a few days to assemble it (the Act provides for a 7-day window, but it is the policy of this office to take only the time necessary to do the work. In all cases, we attempt to promptly comply with your request.)
4. Original documents may be viewed. Copies are available at 25 cents per page.
5. Information that is available from other offices may be obtained upon request or written FOIA request. You may print out the FOIA request form by clicking the link below. Your requests will be processed as quickly as possible.
6. Occasionally an extension of time is required. You will be notified in writing if an extension is required.
7. Occasionally some information may be denied pursuant to the Act. You will be notified in writing if material is denied. There is an appeal process if you disagree with the denial. The Clerk’s office will assist you in explaining the appeal process.
8. We are happy to assist you should you have any questions regarding your rights under the Act.
