[HISTORY: Adopted by the Common Council of
the City of Peekskill 2-27-1978 (Ch. 77 of the 1984 Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
The rules heretofore adopted by this Council
on October 15, 1974, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law, are
hereby rescinded and in their place and stead a new set of rules is
hereby adopted as follows.
The Deputy City Clerk is hereby designated as
the records access officer of the City of Peekskill, to have the duty
of coordinating the City's response to public requests for access
to records.
The records access officer shall perform all
duties as required by New York Codes, Rules and Regulations (NYCRR),
Committee on Open Government, 21 NYCRR 1401.2.
All requests for City records shall be presented
to the records access officer, who may require such requests to be
in writing and who shall be responsible for providing same to the
applicant insofar as may be authorized by law. All City departments,
agencies, bureaus and commissions are directed to provide the records
access officer with such records to the extent provided by law.
The records access officer is hereby directed
to make available to persons requesting records those public records
which, by law, are required to be made available for public inspection
and copying. Requests shall be made at the City Clerk's office, City
Hall, during regular business hours.
[Amended 9-24-1984 by L.L. No. 8-1984]
The City Clerk is authorized to copy any records
which are within the purview of the law and to charge as provided
by the City Charter.[1] No records shall be reproduced until payment is first
received.
No records shall be removed from the lawful
custody of any public office charged with the duty of maintaining
such records.
In the event any requests cannot be met because
such records are being used for current working purposes, the applicant
shall be advised of such fact and every effort will be made to arrange
a specific time when such records will be available.
Requests for public information shall be made,
to the extent not inconsistent with these rules, in the manner provided
in 21 NYCRR 1401.5, and the City shall act on such requests in the
same manner.
The records access officer shall maintain a
subject matter list as provided in 21 NYCRR 1401.6.
Appeals from denial by the records access officer
of requests for information shall be heard by the City Manager in
the manner provided by 21 NYCRR 1401.7 as to the denial of access
to records.
[Amended 11-13-1984]
No fee shall be charged for records searches
or record inspection except as otherwise may be provided by law.
[Added 11-13-1984; amended 9-25-2017 by L.L. No. 2-2017]
A fee shall be charged for each certification requested of the
City Clerk under this chapter as set forth in the Consolidated Fee
Schedule maintained in the office of the City Clerk.
Public notice of these rules shall be given
by posting immediately in public places heretofore designated for
posting of public notices.
The purpose of these rules shall be to maintain
the spirit of the law and to recognize that the concept of open records
is consistent with the purpose of this Common Council.
