How to Request Public Records

All electronic requests for public records must be done through the City's Public Records Request Form below. This form is to be used only to request public records that include writings made, maintained or kept by the City.
Make records request as specific as possible because broadly stated requests that encompass "any and all" of a large category of documents, or which are without significant specificity, may create extenuating circumstances and require additional time and cost.
Questions regarding interpretation of records provided pursuant to an Open Records Request are beyond the scope of the Colorado Open Records Act.

Such fee includes the City's cost to research and retrieve documents and if necessary, to identify, segregate, and/or categorize privileged material.
Copies are subject to a cost of .25 cents per standard page or the actual cost of providing copies of non-standard page documents (larger than 11" x 17"), the actual cost of reproducing DVDs, photographs, or maps, or the actual cost of manipulating or acquiring data to generate the record.
