Diff of PublicRecordsRequests r1

Revision 1, 2026-06-08T10:44:00Z, by RiverCityClerk.

+ = Public records requests =
+ City records are public unless a specific exemption applies. The [[CityClerk]] is the City's records manager and the first point of contact.
+ '''Resolution 10627''', establishing procedures and a fee schedule for public records requests, was set for hearing at [[CityCommission2026-05-19]] and adopted 5-0 at [[CityCommission2026-06-02]]. The minutes record it as referencing Resolutions 10141 and 10626.
+ = What is already online =
+ Much of what people ask for is already posted, and it is worth checking before filing a request:
+ * Agendas, minutes and packets from 2025 forward in the Agenda Center; earlier years in the Document Center
+ * Ordinances and resolutions back to 2001
+ * Meeting recordings — see [[MeetingRecordings]]
+ * Budgets, the [[AnnualComprehensiveFinancialReport]] and the documents and reports list
+ * Board rosters, terms, creation authority and meeting schedules on each board's page
+ The City publishes a public records page and a "public records — find online" page under its How Do I section.
+ The [[OpenMeetingLaw]] is a separate matter and reaches meetings rather than documents, but the two overlap: minutes are both a meeting product and a public record.
