City Offices will be closed December 15, 2023 – January 2, 2024. Requests for public records will be processed during normal business hours after City Offices reopen on January 3, 2024 (Gov. Code § 7922.525(a).

You can request a city document by filling out this form with as much detail as possible and identify the records you are requesting:

Be sure to include your phone number and/or e-mail address so that we can readily contact you if clarification is needed about your request.

The California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et. seq.) applies to writings in city files "containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics." The City will provide those documents to you, unless they are exempt from disclosure under the Public Records Act or other legal reason prevents the documents from being disclosed to the public. Please note that the City is not required by law to create a list from an existing record or create a new record.

Staff will contact you within 10 days of your request to inform you when the records will be available as well as any associated costs.

All Fees involved must be paid in the City’s Finance Department prior to the release of documents.
