Request Public Information

The City Council designated the City Secretary as the Officer for Public Information.  As the designated Officer, public information requests for city records are to be filed with the City Secretary's Office.

There is no strict form required to request public information. However, the city has prepared a form to assist you in requesting public information. A written request triggers a governmental body’s obligations under the Public Information Act (PIA).

Submitting a Request

A request should be for documents that are already in existence. A governmental body is not required to answer questions, perform legal research or comply with a continuing request to supply information on a periodic basis as such information is prepared in the future.

Requests for Department of Public Safety records--arrest, offense and traffic accident reports are to be filed with the Department of Public Safety Records Coordinator.  A form is provided to assist you in requesting public information.
