All requests by the news media shall be made directly to the Mayor at his office located at the Village Hall, Lorillard Road, Tuxedo Park, New York, at all hours that the Clerk's office is regularly open for business.
The following persons shall be called "records access officers," who shall make available to the public all records pertaining to the operation of the particular Tuxedo Park agency, which records shall be kept in the area designated:

The records access officers are responsible for the following:
A request shall reasonably describe the record or records sought. Whenever possible, a person requesting records should supply information that may help to describe the records sought.
Each agency shall maintain a reasonably detailed current list by subject matter of all records in its possession, whether or not records are available, pursuant to Subdivision 2 of § 87 of the Public Officers Law.
The Village Board of the Village of Tuxedo Park shall hear appeals or shall designate a person or body to hear appeals regarding denial of access to records under the Freedom of Information Law.
If any agency fails to respond to a request within five business days of receipt of a request, as required in § 21-5D of this chapter, such failure shall be deemed a denial of access by the agency.

The fee for copies of records not covered by Subsection C(1) and (2) of this section shall not exceed the actual reproduction cost, which is the average unit cost for copying a record, excluding fixed costs of the agency, such as operator salaries.
