A request for Public Records information can take up to one (1) week to process, however we strive to expedite the process in order to best serve the public. Requested Public Record information will be available for pickup from at the respective department facilities (City Hall or the Justice Center) or may be mailed to you for an additional fee. All items must be picked up within 30 days after notification that the information is ready, otherwise it will be destroyed and another request will need to be made.
*Requests can be completed in a timely manner if the data you provide is complete and accurate. We appreciate your cooperation and assistance in making this process efficient.
