This Fair Haven Village Board hereby promulgates this set of rules in
accordance with § 84 et seq. of the Public Officers Law.
The Village Clerk is hereby designated as the records access officer
of the Village of Fair Haven.
Persons seeking public records shall make application to the records
access officer upon the application form supplied by such officer in the event
such records are not readily available.
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. In the event that the request
for public records interferes with the operation of the office of the Village
Clerk and makes it difficult for members of the public to receive the regular
services of the Village Clerk, the records access officer is hereby authorized
to establish hours during each day when he shall process requests for records,
including the times when such requests shall be made in order to enable him
to find the records for review and copying. The times so established by the
records access officer shall be conspicuously posted in the office of the
Village Clerk.
The records access officer is authorized to copy any records which are
within the purview of the law and to charge $0.25 per page size 81/2 by 11
inches and $0.35 per page size 81/2 by 15 inches. No records shall be reproduced
until payment is first received.
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon publication in the Fair
Haven Register for two weeks.
