Public Records Requests

Oregon public records law grants each person the right to inspect the records of a public body (unless exempt from disclosure).

To request records from The City or Police Department, a records request must be filled out. Requests for police records must be submitted along with a $15 fee. This fee is non-refundable, and applies even if the requested records are not available.

All records requests will be acknowledged within 5 business days, as dictated by Oregon public records law. If the records requested take City Hall or Police staff less than 30 minutes to collect, no additional charge will be assessed. If a request is estimated to take more than 30 minutes to complete, the requestor will be provided with a quote of the time and cost needed to accommodate the request. The estimated cost must be paid before staff can move forward with the request. In the event the request takes longer to complete than originally estimated, staff will notify the requestor to either verify that the requestor will accept the records already collected, or will pay an additional fee to complete the request.
