Request for Public Records

California Public Records Act

The California Public Records Act gives members of the public the right to inspect and to obtain copies of reasonably identified, non-exempt, existing public records.

To submit a Public Records Act request, please complete the web form below or download the form HERE and submit it in person or by email or postal mail.

Please list the requested records and be as specific as possible. City staff will be happy to assist records requesters by describing relevant City information technology, the location where records are kept, and by making suggestions for avoiding practical obstacles to obtaining the records sought.

City staff will respond to most requests within ten (10) days of receiving a request. For some requests, such as those involving voluminous records, The City may take up to an additional fourteen (14) days to respond. The City will inform requesters when non-exempt records or parts of records will be provided, and whether any exemptions apply. The City will provide records requested in electronic form in the form requested if it is one in which the City maintains the records.
