These provisions are consistent with Florida law, and we hope you will find them informative as we fulfill your request.
Please be advised that processing your public records request may require extensive use of information technology resources, and/or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance. The City has determined that any request that requires more than fifteen minutes to locate, gather, review, redact, copy or make records available for inspection is an extensive request. These services will be charged at the hourly rate of the least paid employee capable of performing the task according to the City’s policy.
You may use the following link to access the City’s ordinance, codified at Section 2-871 in the City of Hialeah Code of Ordinances, which describes the costs of duplication and certification of public documents:
The law requires that we respond to your request within a reasonable time. Reasonable time includes the time necessary to search for records, review and redact the records for exempt or confidential material, as well as copy the records or make them available for inspection.
At this time, we will forward your request to the appropriate department(s) in the City to determine whether any records within the department are responsive to your request. Once we have had an opportunity to conduct an internal search, we will prepare a cost estimate for time and resources necessary to provide you with your records, if any, as provided by the City’s policy.
Thank you.
