How do I obtain public records?

To inspect and/or receive records, please complete the online form below to submit an open records request. Please be as specific as possible.

Responses & Fees

There may be a cost to search for, find, copy, remove private information from, or watch over the viewing of the documents you asked for. The cost is based on the hourly pay of the lowest-paid full-time worker who has the right skills to handle your request. The first 15 minutes are free. After that, it costs $0.10 per page for letter or legal size copies. Other types of documents or digital files may cost more, depending on what it costs the City to make them. If the law sets a specific fee for certain records, that fee will be used.  Payment is required upon receipt of the records. 

Some records are not readily accessible. In these instances, a timeline will be provided as to when the records will be available.

Upon submission of your request, a confirmation receipt will be sent to the email address provided in the request. If you do not receive a confirmation, please resubmit your request or contact us.
