[Adopted 1-20-1999 by L.L. No. 1-1999]
The purpose of this article is to set forth the methods and
procedures governing the availability, location and nature of those
records of the Village of Red Hook subject to the provisions of Article
6 of the Public Officers Law, known as the "Freedom of Information
Law."
Records shall be available for public inspection and copying
at the Village offices, Village of Red Hook, New York.
Requests for public access to records shall be accepted and
records shall be produced during the hours that the Village Clerk's
office is regularly opened for business.
The fee for copies of records shall be $0.25 per page not exceeding
nine inches by 14 inches in size or the maximum fee permitted under
the Freedom of Information Law as it may from time be amended. The
fees for other types of copies or transcripts and for certificates
shall be the reasonable amounts as the Records Access Officer shall
establish. The fees charged by the Records Access Officer for records
shall not exceed the actual cost of reproducing such record, except
when a different fee is otherwise prescribed by law.
The Records Access Officer shall, in accordance with this article,
make available for public inspection and copying all records, except
that the Records Access Officer may deny access to records or portions
thereof which are not subject to disclosure in accordance with the
provisions of Subdivision 2 of § 87 of the Public Officers
Law or any other applicable state or federal statute or unless the
public access officer determines that to grant the application would
adversely affect the public interest.
