To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Oregon Public Records Law, I hereby request the following documents:
Absolutely any and all logs, reports, spreadsheets, databases, or other materials detailing all settlements or similar dispute resolutions to which this agency, or any division thereof, was a party, including, but not limited to, all conciliatory agreements related to complaints or court or legal proceedings against any representative of or office of this agency. Please include all available segregable data, including the entities involved, the date on which the initial complaint or court action was brought, the nature of the charge or complaint, the nature of the dispute resolution (i.e. in-court, out-of-court, in-agency mediation, third-party, etc.), any financial agreements associated with the settlement, and the date on which the case was closed.
Please provide all available materials from January 1, 2010 through October 31, 2017.
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 would request your response within ten (10) business days.
Sincerely,
Beryl Lipton

It appears you are trying to make a public records request. Please go to the City's online Portland Public Records Request Center to make a request. Link: http://www.portlandoregon.gov/prr
Alternatively, please complete and sign an official City of Portland Public Records Request form.

To streamline the public records request process, the City of Portland has created a standard form pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 36563. Using this form will guide your request and make sure City bureaus receive your contact information and a clear, written request.
Filling out this form ensures that 1) There is limited ambiguity and delay in the process of responding; 2) The City has the necessary information in order to process your request; 3) The City has a record of the reason it released the documents; and 4) The City can fulfill the request in an organized manner.
