The Public Records Act provides for the inspection or copying of existing identifiable public records; it does not compel the City to create new records, lists, privilege logs, or reports in response to a request. The City is typically afforded ten (10 days) from the date of receipt of your request to make a determination whether your request seeks disclosable public records.
