Request Public Information
Pursuant to the Public Records Act (California Government Code Section 6250, et seq.), a person may request copies or review public records. With certain exceptions, all City records are available for public inspection. Requests can submit in-person, by email or phone, or by following the online submission steps below.
Timeline for Requests
Within 10 days the City will notify the requester and provide an estimate for the records. If any exemptions from disclosure or delay in providing the information are known, the City will notify the requester within 10 days and request a 14-day extension.
How to Request Public Information
Step 1 - Records Retention Schedule
Review the City’s adopted Records Retention Schedule to determine if the record exists and if the City is required to maintain it under state and local law.
Step 2 - Public Access Portal
Search our Public Access Portal to see if what you are requesting is already publicly available.
Step 3 - Request Public Information
Submit an online Request for Public Information. If you know the appropriate department, you can select it when you submit your request. If not, select the City Clerk.
Step 4 - Contact City Clerk’s Office
