Good morning,
We are in receipt of your public records request.
You can access the City's ordinance, codified at Section 2-871 in the Code, which describes the costs for this service through the following link https://library.municode.com/fl/hialeah/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIICOOR_CH2AD_ARTVFI_DIV2FECH_S2-871DUCEPUDO .
Attached you will also find the City's policy on public records. 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.
The law requires that we respond to your request within a reasonable time not the quickest possible response time. Reasonable time includes time necessary to search for records, review and redact the records for exempt or confidential material, copy the records or make them available for inspection.
At this time, we will forward your request to the appropriate departments 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,
Daniella Miret
