Response to Records Requests

Within five business days of receipt of the request, the Public Records Officer or designee will do one of the following:

· Notify the requestor that the records are available for inspection and copying;

· Send copies to the requestor if payment has been received;

· Acknowledge the request in writing and provide a reasonable estimate of time the District will require to respond to the request;

· Contact the requester to request clarification;

Public Record Exemptions

Please be advised some records are exempt from disclosure. The Public Records Act (RCW 42.56)lists types of documents exempt from public inspection and copying. Other laws also prohibit disclosure of certain records. The District will NOT disclose lists of individuals for commercial purposes. If only a portion of a record is exempt from disclosure, the Public Records Officer or designee will redact the exempt portions before providing the document.

Inspection and Copying

In the event the volume of responsive records are too large for emailing, the Public Records Officer will make records available for inspection and copying by appointment during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 12 noon and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.), excluding legal holidays.

There is no fee for inspecting public records; the charge for copying 8-1/2 x 11 pages is $0.15 per black and white page, $0.25 per color page, scanning is $0.10 per page, and $1.00 per CD. A list of additional copying charges for larger volumes and sizes of records can be provided upon request.
