Requests are generally processed in 10 days
The City will determine whether it has disclosable records within 10 days after receiving your request. In some instances, depending on the complexity of the request, the City may take a 14-day extension in which to conduct a search to determine whether responsive records exist.
If disclosable records exist, the City will make every effort to provide responsive non-exempt records within a reasonable timeframe; however, response times will vary depending on the types and volume of records requested and the scope or timeframe of the request.
Please note that certain records kept by the City may not be disclosed because the records are exempt from disclosure by law. Review the California Public Records Act, Government Code section 7920.000 et seq., for details about documents that are exempt from public disclosure.
