B.Â
Requests for public records will be accepted by hand delivery to
the office of the Borough Clerk or by mail. Mail received on days
other than days when requests are accepted will be considered received
on the next available day when requests are accepted. Requests may
be made using a request form available at the office of the Borough
Clerk or by written correspondence containing the information necessary
to process the request. Electronic or facsimile requests cannot be
accepted, as the Borough does not have dedicated addresses or lines
available for such requests.
The Borough Clerk shall permit access to a public record and,
when requested, will provide a copy thereof in the medium designated
in the request if the Borough maintains the record in that medium.
If the Borough does not maintain the record in the medium requested,
the Borough Clerk is not required to convert the record into the medium
requested and will provide a hard copy of the public record (if requested).
The fee for a copy or copies of a public record requested under
the Open Public Records Act[1] shall be as set forth in § 95-7 of the Revised General Ordinances of the Borough of Riverdale.

Borough Clerk within the period allowed for response under the Open
Public Records Act. A requestor may alternatively request that a response
be mailed, provided that the requestor includes a self-addressed stamped
envelope with the request. Responses will not be made electronically
unless the Borough maintains the public record electronically, the
