Records Request

Is this request for a commercial purpose?

Please be as specific as possible when describing the records you are seeking. Please supply dates, titles, file designations, or other appropriate information. Remember, the Freedom of Information Act is designed to allow you to inspect or receive copies of records. We will help you however we can, but it is not designed to require a public body to answer questions.
