Requests:
While a written Right to Know request is not mandated by law, it is beneficial as it provides all
parties with a record of your request. You may submit your request in any format you prefer;
however, using this form will aid in documenting and processing your request.
We will respond to your records request within the timeframe required by applicable law. If we
cannot complete your request within that timeframe, we will respond with an estimated time to
complete. If your request is complex or highly burdensome in scope, we may ask for clarification
or a mutual agreement to narrow the scope. This will allow us to respond more effectively and
efficiently.
Review:
All requested records will be reviewed prior to scheduling your inspection to ensure that you are
requesting a public record and/or information which is not exempt from disclosure. Depending
on the nature of the exempt information and its presence in the public record it may require
redaction of exempt information or prohibit disclosure of a particular document. This legal
compliance process may take extra time. We take your requests and our obligations seriously and
appreciate your understanding.
Inspection of records:
A representative from our office will contact you to schedule your inspection of the relevant
governmental records during regular business hours, excluding holidays. A County
representative will be present throughout the inspection.
Fees and other charges:
Inspecting records at the County is free. However, if you want copies, the following fees apply
and must be paid by check or money order before release. Electronic information is provided
only on a USB flash drive supplied by the County, at the cost of the device. Photocopies incur
fees: $1.00 for the first page and $0.25 for each additional page. Records must be picked up at
the County office and will not be emailed or mailed.
