What are some ways that I can streamline the public records request process?
There are some things that you can consider when you make a public records request that can decrease the response time and reduce production costs. A significant amount of information is available on the Town's website.
• Be specific; avoid overly broad requests.
• Provide dates ranges of requested public records, especially on emails and correspondence.
How long does it take to receive the requested public records?
The Town responds to public records requests as quickly as possible. However, requests for a large number of documents, or requests that require significant staff time may result in a longer response time. The volume of public record requests may also slow the response time. Public records requests are processed in the order they are received.
