Before you request
Many City records are already online: meeting agendas, minutes and ordinances and budgets, debt reports and disclosures. The Act covers records that already exist; the City is not required to create new documents or answer general questions. You do not need to explain why you want the information. For more about your rights, visit the Office of the Attorney General.
