**Please note there have been some changes in our public record requests process.
Public Records requests can be made by filling out a Record Request Form. The form is fillable online; however, the form must be printed and signed. It can then be mailed in, scanned and emailed, faxed, or brought into the Golder Ranch Fire District Administrative Office in person. The office is open Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., excluding holidays.
Our office offers inspection of any public record (A.R.S §39-121) with reproduction of documents available for a fee. If you intend to use the requested documents for commercial purpose, please state the commercial purpose in the reason for request section of the form. The fees associated with all records requests are in accordance to the Approved Fee Schedule adopted by the Golder Ranch Fire District Governing Board.
Please note that a third party requesting a patient’s medical record must attach one of the following to the Records Request Form: (1) a notarized HIPAA-compliant release per 45 C.F.R. §164.508 signed by the patient; or (2) a court order signed by a judge authorizing the release per 45 C.F.R. §164.512. A subpoena without a HIPAA-compliant release or court order is not sufficient.
6.5.5 Non-Commercial Use. A person requesting copies, printouts, digital copies, or photographs of public records for a non-commercial purpose may be charged a fee for the records. A.R.S. § 39-121.01; but see Section 6.5.7 infra. An agency may charge a fee it deems appropriate for copying records, including a reasonable amount for the cost of time, equipment, and personnel used in producing copies of records, but not for costs of searching for the records. A.R.S. § 39-121.01(D)(1); Hanania v. City of Tucson, 128 Ariz. 135, 136, 624 P.2d 332, 333 (App. 1980); Ariz. Att’y Gen. Op. I86-090.
If an agency must make a copy of a public record due to, for example, necessary redactions but the requester only wants to inspect the record, the agency may not charge a copying fee. Ariz. Att’y Gen. Op. I13-012. Further, if the requester makes copies of public records using his or her own personal device, the agency may not charge a copying fee. Id. If an agency is producing documents pursuant to a subpoena in a civil action to which the agency is not a party, the fee is prescribed by A.R.S. § 12-351.
A. A person requesting copies, printouts or photographs of public records for a commercial purpose shall, upon making such a request, provide a certified statement setting forth the commercial purpose for which the copies, printouts or photographs will be used.
A portion of the cost to the state for obtaining the original or copies of the documents, printouts or photographs.
A reasonable fee for the cost of time, equipment and personnel in producing such reproduction.
The value of the reproduction on the commercial market.
B. If the custodian of a public record determines that the commercial purpose stated in the verified statement is a misuse of public records or is an abuse of the right to receive public records, the custodian may apply to the governor requesting that the governor by executive order prohibit the furnishing of copies, printouts or photographs for such commercial purpose. The governor, upon application from a custodian of public records, shall determine whether the commercial purpose is a misuse or an abuse of the public record. If the governor determines that the public record shall not be provided for such commercial purpose he shall issue an executive order prohibiting the providing of such public records for such commercial purpose. If no order is issued within thirty days of the date of application, the custodian of public records shall provide such copies, printouts or photographs upon being paid the fee determined pursuant to subsection A of this section.
C. A person who obtains public records for a commercial purpose without indicating the commercial purpose or who obtains a public record for a noncommercial purpose and uses or knowingly allows the use of such public record for a commercial purpose or who obtains a public record for a commercial purpose and uses or knowingly allows the use of such public record for a different commercial purpose or who obtains a public record from anyone other than the custodian of such records and uses them for a commercial purpose shall in addition to other penalties be liable to the state or the political subdivision from which the public record was obtained for damages in the amount of three times the amount which would have been charged for the public record had the commercial purpose been stated plus costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees or shall be liable to the state or the political subdivision for the amount of three times the actual damages if it can be shown that the public record would not have been provided had the commercial purpose of actual use been stated at the time of obtaining the records.
D. As used in this section “commercial purpose”, means the use of a public record for the purpose of sale or resale or for the purpose of producing a document containing all or part of the copy, printout or photograph for sale or the obtaining of names and addresses from such public records for the purpose of solicitation or the sale of such names and addresses to another for the purpose of solicitation or for any purpose in which the purchaser can reasonably anticipate the receipt of monetary gain from the direct or indirect use of such public record. Commercial purpose does not mean the use of a public record as evidence or as research for evidence in an action in a judicial or quasi-judicial body of this state or a political subdivision of this state.
