We are in receipt of your Colorado Open Records Act request.
The Colorado Open Records Act requires a response within three business days. The three-day timeline begins on the first business day following the receipt of the request. Multiple requests in one email will be treated as one request for reimbursement purposes. The district may also treat multiple requests concerning the same subject matter as one request. The process is as follows:
* The CORA Officer will review your request and work with staff to determine:
* If the district is the custodian of the requested documents;
* How much staff time will be required to retrieve the documents (please note the below reimbursement policy for requests requiring more than one hour of staff time); and
* If an extension is necessary
* If applicable, within three business days of the receipt of the request, the CORA lead with notify you of the cost of your request and any extension needed to respond to your request.
* The CORA Officer will provide a final response to your request in accordance with the applicable CORA timeline after payment is received (as applicable).
Please note:
The Colorado Open Records Act only makes available public records that already exist. It does not require the creation of new records to respond to a request. It also does not require the district to manipulate or analyze existing information in a new way to respond to a request.
CORA Reimbursement Policy -
The Colorado Open Records Act allows for the following reimbursement for reasonable costs associated with completing a request:
* Copying Expenses: We charge $0.25 for each hard-copy page after the first 25 pages.
* Staff Time: For requests that require more than one hour of staff time, we charge $30 for each additional hour of staff time expended.
* There will be a retrieval charge for documents stored at an offsite facility, dependent on the number of boxes to be retrieved.
* Electronically stored files which are larger than 14MB will be transferred to a CD for a charge of $10 per CD.
