or entries of a personal, confidential, private or proprietary nature,
including, but not limited to income, sales data, financial circumstances,

public discourse, which information or entries have been provided
to the City by one complying with regulations requiring the disclosure
of such information, shall be excised from copies of City records
disclosed or provided to members of the public other than those persons
to whom the information of entries pertain. Persons desiring access
to information or entries excised from such records may file a supplementary

of the specified information is in the public interest.
B. The
Custodian of Records may afford all interested parties, including
the persons to whom the information pertains, a reasonable time within
which to comment on the requested disclosure prior to acting further
on the request. If an interested person objects to the disclosure
of the requested information, the Custodian of Records may conduct
a hearing at which all interested parties may be heard. At such hearing,
the Custodian of Records shall consider, among such other factors
as may be reasonable and relevant:
1. The requirements and intent of State law, other City ordinances and
this policy;

parties;

information at issue;

If the Custodian of Records determines that disclosure is legally
required or would otherwise serve the best interests of the public
and that such requirements or purpose outweigh the legitimate concerns
or interest of the persons to whom the information pertains, the Custodian
of Records shall provide the requested information to the requesting
party.
|
C. In
addition to or in lieu of the hearing described above, the Custodian
of Records may afford all interested parties a reasonable opportunity
to seek judicial review of or relief from the proposed disclosure.
The Custodian of Records may also utilize the procedures for judicial
determination and/or opinion solicitation provided herein.
D. Records
and information that have been closed pursuant to the provisions of
this Article and Chapter 610, RSMo., and other relevant State and
Federal laws and regulations are to be treated as confidential by
all employees and elected and appointed officials of the City.
1. It shall be grounds for disciplinary action for any employee to:
(1) violate the confidentiality relating to such records or information;
(2) copy or remove closed and/or confidential information without
the specific consent of the custodian thereof or in the normal course
of performing such employee's duties for the City; (3) provide or
discuss closed records or confidential information with any person
other than as a necessary part of performing such employee's duties
for the City, or (4) divulge, discuss or disclose information or records
addressed in any closed meeting of a public governmental body, other
than as a necessary part of performing such employee's duties for
the City.
2. Elected and appointed officials are also expected to maintain the
same strict standards of confidentiality required of employees. Breach
of the confidentiality standards established by this Article and required
of employees in this Section may be grounds for removal from office
or other sanctions as may be deemed appropriate by the body of which
such official is a member or by the Board.
[Ord. No. 931-20, 12-16-2020]
A. Each
public governmental body shall give notice of the time, date, place,
and tentative agenda of each meeting, in a manner reasonably calculated
to advise the public of the matters to be considered, and if the meeting
will be conducted by telephone or other electronic means, the notice
of the meeting shall identify the mode by which the meeting will be
conducted and the designated location where the public may observe
and attend the meeting. If a public body plans to meet by internet
chat, internet message board, or other computer link, it shall post
a notice of the meeting on its website in addition to its principal
office and shall notify the public how to access that meeting. Reasonable
notice shall include making available copies of the notice to any
representative of the news media who requests notice of meetings of
a particular public governmental body concurrent with the notice being
made available to the members of the particular governmental body
and posting the notice on a bulletin board at City Hall or other prominent
place which is easily accessible to the public and clearly designated
for that purpose at the City Hall. The notice shall be given at least
twenty-four (24) hours, exclusive of weekends and holidays when the
City Hall is closed, prior to the commencement of any meeting of a
governmental body unless for good cause such notice is impossible
or impractical, in which case as much notice as is reasonably possible
shall be given.
B. When
it is necessary to hold a meeting on less than twenty-four (24) hours'
notice, or at a place that is not reasonably accessible to the public,
or at a time that is not reasonably convenient to the public, the
nature of the good cause justifying that departure from the normal
requirements shall be stated in the minutes.
C. A formally
constituted subunit of a parent governmental body may conduct a meeting
without notice as required by this Section during a lawful meeting
of the parent governmental body, a recess in that meeting, or immediately
following that meeting, if the meeting of the subunit is publicly
announced at the parent meeting and the subject of the meeting reasonably
coincides with the subjects discussed or acted upon by the parent
governmental body.
D. A public
body shall allow for the recording by audiotape, videotape, or other
electronic means of any open meeting. A public body may establish
guidelines regarding the manner in which such recording is conducted
so as to minimize disruption to the meeting. No audio recording of
any meeting, record, or vote closed pursuant to the provisions of
Section 610.021, RSMo., shall be permitted without permission of the
public body; any person who violates this provision shall be guilty
of a Class C misdemeanor.
[Ord. No. 931-20, 12-16-2020]
A. A public
governmental body proposing to hold a closed meeting or vote may do
so by either:
1. Giving notice of same pursuant to the provisions of this Article
along with reference to the specific exception allowing such a closed
meeting under State law; or
2. Upon an affirmative public vote of the majority of a quorum of the
public governmental body. The vote of each member of the public governmental
body on the question of closing a public meeting or vote and the specific
reason for closing that public meeting or vote by reference to the
specific exception allowing such a closed meeting under State law
shall be announced publicly at an open meeting of the governmental
body and entered into the minutes.
B. Any
meeting or vote closed pursuant to Section 610.021, RSMo., shall be
closed only to the extent necessary for the specific reason announced
to justify the closed meeting or vote. Public governmental bodies
shall not discuss any business in a closed meeting, record or vote
which does not directly relate to the specific reason announced to
justify the closed meeting or vote. Public governmental bodies holding
a closed meeting shall close only an existing portion of the meeting
facility necessary to house the members of the public governmental
body in the closed session, allowing members of the public to remain
to attend any subsequent open session held by the public governmental
body following the closed session.
C. In
the event any member of a public governmental body makes a motion
to close a meeting, or a record, or a vote from the public and any
other member believes that such motion, if passed, would cause a meeting,
record or vote to be closed from the public in violation of any provision
of Chapter 610, RSMo., or this Article such latter member shall state
his or her objection to the motion at or before the time the vote
is taken on the motion. The public governmental body shall enter in
the minutes of the public governmental body any objection made pursuant
to this Subsection. Any member making such an objection shall be allowed
to fully participate in any meeting, record or vote that is closed
from the public over the member's objection. In the event the objecting
member also voted in opposition to the motion to close the meeting,
record or vote at issue, the objection and vote of the member as entered
in the minutes shall be an absolute defense to any claim filed against
the objecting member pursuant to Chapter 610, RSMo.
[Ord. No. 931-20, 12-16-2020]
A journal or minutes of open and closed meetings shall be taken
and retained by the public governmental body, including, but not limited
to, a record of any votes taken at such meeting. The minutes shall
include the date, time, place, members present, members absent, and
a record of any votes taken. All votes by members of a public governmental
body at any meeting shall be recorded. When a roll call vote is taken,
the minutes shall attribute each "yea" and "nay" vote, or abstinence
if not voting, to the name of the individual member of the body. Any
votes taken during a closed meeting shall be taken by roll call and
the minutes of the closed meeting, sufficient to reflect the vote
pursuant to this Subsection shall be recorded. All votes taken by
roll call in meetings of a public governmental body consisting of
members who are all elected, except for the Missouri General Assembly
and any committee established by a public governmental body, shall
be cast by members of the public governmental body who are physically
present and in attendance at the meeting. When it is necessary to
take votes by roll call in a meeting of the public governmental body,
due to an emergency of the public body, with a quorum of the members
of the public body physically present and in attendance and less than
a quorum of the members of the public governmental body participating
via telephone, facsimile, internet, or any other voice or electronic
means, the nature of the emergency of the public body justifying that
departure from the normal requirements shall be stated in the minutes.
Where such emergency exists, the votes taken shall be regarded as
if all members were physically present and in attendance at the meeting.
[Ord. No. 931-20, 12-16-2020]
Each meeting shall be held at a place reasonably accessible
to the public, and of sufficient size to accommodate the anticipated
attendance by members of the public, and at a time reasonably convenient
to the public, unless for good cause such a place or time is impossible
or impractical. Every reasonable effort shall be made to grant special
access to the meeting to handicapped or disabled individuals.
[Ord. No. 931-20, 12-16-2020]
If a public record contains material which is not exempt from
disclosure, as well as material which is exempt from disclosure, the
custodian shall separate the exempt and non-exempt material and make
the non-exempt material available for examination and copying in accord
with the policies provided herein. When designing a public record,
the custodian shall, to the extent practicable, facilitate a separation
of exempt from non-exempt information. If the separation is readily
apparent to a person requesting to inspect or receive copies of the
form, the custodian shall generally describe the material exempted
unless that description would reveal the contents of the exempt information
and thus defeat the purpose of the exemption.
[Ord. No. 931-20, 12-16-2020]
A. The
City Clerk of the City shall be the Custodian of Records and will
be responsible for maintenance and control of all records. The Board

and such other departments or offices as the Board may determine.
Deputy custodians shall conduct matters relating to public records
and meetings in accord with the policies enumerated herein.
B. Except
as otherwise provided by law, the City shall provide access to and,
upon request, furnish copies of the City's public records subject
to the provisions of this Article relating to copying fees. No person
shall remove original public records from the City Hall or from the
office of the Custodian of Records without written permission of the
Custodian. No public governmental body shall grant to any person or
entity, whether by contract, license, or otherwise, the exclusive
right to access and disseminate any public record unless the granting
of such right is necessary to facilitate coordination with, or uniformity
among, industry regulators having similar authority.
C. The
Custodian of Records may require persons seeking access to public
records to submit such request, in writing, and/or on a form designated
by the Custodian for such purpose. Such written request shall be sufficiently
particular to reasonably apprize the Custodian of the records sought.
D. Each
request for access to a public record shall be acted upon as soon
as possible, but in no event later than the end of the third business
day following the date the request is received by the Custodian of
Records. If records are requested in a certain format, the public
body shall provide the records in the requested format, if such format
is available. If access to the public record is not granted immediately,
the custodian shall give a detailed explanation of the cause for further
delay and the place and earliest time and date that the record will
be available for inspection. This period for document production may
exceed three (3) days for reasonable cause.
E. If
a request for access is denied, the Custodian of Records shall provide,
upon request, a written statement of the grounds for such denial.
Such statement shall cite the specific provision of law under which
access is denied and shall be furnished to the requester no later
than the end of the third business day following the date that the
request for the statement is received.
F. Any
member of a public governmental body who transmits any message relating
to public business by electronic means shall also concurrently transmit
that message to either the member's public office computer or the
custodian of records in the same format. The provisions of this Subsection
shall only apply to messages sent to two (2) or more members of that
body so that, when counting the sender, a majority of the body's members
are copied. Any such message received by the custodian or at the member's
office computer shall be a public record, subject, however, to the
exceptions of Section 610.021, RSMo.
[Ord. No. 931-20, 12-16-2020]
A public governmental body or the Custodian in doubt about the
legality of closing a particular meeting, record or vote may, subject
to approval by the City, bring suit in the Circuit Court for the County
of Jefferson to ascertain the propriety of such action. In addition,
subject to approval by the City, the public governmental body or custodian
may seek a formal opinion of the Attorney General or an attorney for
the City regarding the propriety of such action. In such events, the
proposed closed meeting or public access to the record or vote shall
be deferred for a reasonable time pending the outcome of the actions
so taken.
[Ord. No. 931-20, 12-16-2020]
A. The
Custodian shall charge ten cents ($0.10) per page for a paper copy
not larger than nine by fourteen (9x14) inches, plus an hourly fee
for duplicating time not to exceed the average hourly rate of pay
for clerical staff of the City. Research time required for fulfilling
records requests may be charged at the actual cost of research time.
Based on the scope of the request, the City shall produce the copies
using employees of the City that result in the lowest amount of charges
for search, research, and duplication time. Prior to producing copies
of the requested records, the person requesting the records may request
the City to provide an estimate of the cost to the person requesting
the records. The Custodian shall receive (or may require) payment
prior to duplicating and/or searching for documents.

610.010 to 610.280, RSMo., to the appropriate fiscal officer of the City for deposit to the City's accounts.

to this Section shall be available upon request by law enforcement
agencies or the Division of Workers Compensation or pursuant to a
valid court order authorizing disclosure upon motion and good cause
