6. What types of records can I request from the City?

The City can only provide records that exist at the time of the request and cannot create records to respond to a request.

Records will be made available in the format they exist at the time of the request. If the requestor would like to receive records in a different format, i.e. an Excel spreadsheet vs. paper copies of each record, the requestor is responsible for paying the labor costs associated with converting that information.

The City cannot research information and records for a requestor. The requestor must be specific regarding the record or information they are seeking.
