Hello,

The City is the custodian of records responsive to your request. Specifically, the City has settlement documents concerning three motor vehicle accidents and damage to a fence. We have no responsive documents for use of force claims.

We estimate it would take 2 hours to collect the records and separate exempt from non-exempt material. The exemptions are for personal privacy (ORS 192.355(2)) and internal affairs documentation (ORS 181.854(3) or 192.345(12)). The City’s fee schedule establishes an hourly rate of $39.43 per hour for staff research time. https://www.eugene-or.gov/DocumentView.aspx?DID=476. Thus, the estimate to respond to your request is $78.86.

If you would like to proceed with all or a portion of your records request, you will need to provide me with written authorization to proceed and pay the estimated costs for that request. There is no charge for copies provided the records are delivered electronically. Otherwise, our fee schedule sets out the copying costs.

Upon payment, the City will search for the record(s) and will provide copies of the records for which the City does not claim an exemption from disclosure as soon as practicable. If the actual cost of this records request exceeds the estimated amount, the requestor is required to pay the difference prior to records being released. If the estimated cost of the records request exceeds the actual cost, the City will refund the difference.

For any record that the City asserts an exemption you may seek review of the City’s determination as indicated in ORS 192.329(2)(f).

Wish every best wish,

Melinda
