Records management — See Ch. 83.
Such records shall be made available for inspection at the office of the Town Clerk charged with the custody and keeping thereof.
Such records shall be made available for public inspection on business days of the Town Clerk and call for available hours to review the records. If not readily available, written request specifically describing records to which access is desired shall be filed with the Town Clerk charged with the custody and keeping thereof, who shall produce same within 48 hours of such request. If the Town Clerk charged with the custody and keeping of the record elects to refuse access, he shall submit to the requester written statement of his reason therefor within 48 hours of such request.
The Town Clerk charged with the custody and keeping of the record shall, upon request, make a copy or copies of any record subject to such inspection upon a payment of a fee as provided by the Town Board.
If a copy or copies are desired thereof by the requester, the Town Clerk charged with the custody and keeping of the record shall make the same and mail or deliver the same to the requester within one week depending on the volume and number of copies requested.
The Town Clerk charged with the custody and keeping of any such record shall, upon request, certify a copy of a document or record prepared pursuant to the provisions of the preceding subsection upon payment of a fee as provided by the Town Board.
To prevent any unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, the Committee on Open Government may promulgate guidelines for the deletion of identifying details for specified records which are to be made available. In the absence of such guidelines, an agency or municipality may delete identifying details when it makes records available. An "unwarranted invasion of personal privacy" includes but shall not be limited to:
Each department shall maintain and make available for public inspection and copying, in conformity with such regulations as may be issued by the Committee on Open Government, a current list, reasonably detailed, by subject matter of any records which shall be produced, filed, or first kept or promulgated after the effective date of this chapter. Such list may also provide identifying information as to any records in the possession of the department on or before the effective date of this chapter.
In addition to such requirements as may be imposed by this chapter or by the Public Officers Law, each board, commission or other group of the Town having more than one member shall maintain and make available for public inspection a record of the final votes of each member in every agency proceeding in which he votes.
Whether the denial of access was in writing or due to failure to provide records promptly.
