Clark County Planning

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Nevada Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

This request should be directed to the Clark County Comprehensive Planning Dept. I am seeking the following as they pertain to the above agency:

- A record of public records requests submitted to the above agency that lists the date of request, the requester's name, the requester's organizational affiliation, a description of the request and the county's response for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018.

- Records of policies/procedures related to processing and approval/denial processes for public records requests used in the years 2016, 2017 and 2018. We are interested in obtaining the policies for each agency, if they have their own policies, as well as the county’s policy.

- Records of total direct revenue and expenses (i.e., no including overhead) relating to the processing of public records requests in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Sandy Marz

Thank you for your reply. I look forward to hearing from you.

I'm not at a desk during the day so it would be hard for me to answer questions by phone. It would be easier for me to respond by email. I would appreciate it if you would try to ask your questions by email.
Thank you,
Sandy Marz

I would appreciate it if you would compile the information for the last three years. How long do you expect that will take? I would like the information in an electronic format, not paper. Again, if there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the charges in advance of fulfilling my request.
Thank you,
Sandy Marz

Thanks for your reply.

I would like to know the fees and expenses (not including overhead) relating to processing public records requests in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

I briefly looked at the Nevada Records Retention Schedule you sent. I found the amount of time each agency is supposed to keep each record. I wanted to know your department's policies/procedures related to processing and approval/denial processes for public records requests. For example, you said you talked to those requesting records by phone to let them know how to obtain records on their own. Is there a written policy for that activity and have you been doing that for 2016, 2017 and 2018? Are there written policies for other activities related to record requests?

One of my requests was for a record of public records requests submitted to your agency listing the date of request, the requester's name, the requester's organizational affiliation, a description of the request for the year's 2016, 2017 and 2018. Since you encourage those requesting records to find and copy the records on their own, do you have a digital file or summary of those requests?

Again, if there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the charges in advance of fulfilling my request.

Thank you,
Sandy Marz
