Public Records Requests
Form
Fill out the Request Records Form
Requests
Requests must be for records in the possession of the City of Adelanto. Requests must also be focused and specific, and must reasonably describe identifiable records (Gov. Code Sec. 6253).
Notification & Processing
You will be notified within ten days whether your request seeks copies of disclosable public records in the possession of this agency. In most cases, your request will be processed in ten days.
The City may invoke a 14 day extension of time to determine whether to comply with your request if there is a need to:
- Consult with another agency or City Department having substantial interest in the determination of the request.
- Search for and collect the requested records from field facilities.
- Search for and examine a voluminous number of records.
Appointment to Inspect
If your request is to inspect the records (rather than receive copies), an appointment will be made with you once the records are gathered.
Cost
There is a charge for the direct cost of duplication ($0.25 per page). Payment must be made prior to release of the requested records. If the documents requested exceed 100 pages, a deposit will be requested.
Record Availability
Records available for review and/or copies of records requested will be available for 10 days after notification of their availability. If you are unable to pick-up or view your records during this time period, notification is required, or your request will be considered fulfilled and a new request must be made.
Exemptions From Disclosure
Certain records are generally exempt from disclosure pursuant to Government Code Section 6255, where the public interest served by not making the records public clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the records. The Government Code further provides that certain records are specifically exempt from disclosure.
