The public’s right to access information concerning the conduct of the people’s business is a fundamental and necessary right. A record shall not be withheld from disclosure unless it is clearly exempt under applicable laws, or unless the public interest served by not making the record public clearly outweighs the public interest serviced by disclosure of the record. The City, in accordance with Government Code Section 6256, has ten (10) days to respond to any request for public documents by indicating whether or not the documents exist and will be made available.
Public Records can be requested by completing the following Request for Public Records Form. Try to be as clear as possible when requesting records and put date limits on your request. Offer any search clues you can.
Per the Master Fee Schedule: Once you click on the submit button, a City Clerk staff member will calculate what it will cost to fulfill your request. They will email the price back to you. Once payment has been received, staff will process the request and send you the documents. There is a cost for duplicating records which is currently 50 cents/page for the first 10 pages, 10 cents/page thereafter and the additional cost of postage.
For more information please call: 510-583-4400.
