Public Records Request

Public Records Request Form

The City will provide the public with reasonable opportunity to inspect records at the City offices during usual business hours, and reserves the right to require an employee to supervise while inspection occurs.

The City will respond to a written request for public records as soon as practicable and without reasonable delay.

Pursuant to City of Vernonia Resolutions 14-08, the City charges an administrative fee to cover the cost of research, supervision, inspection, production, reproduction and redaction, if necessary, of City records for distribution to members of the public. Fees are due in advance or at the time of receipt of materials or service.

Public records requests are themselves public record and subject to disclosure under the public records laws.
