Further clarification on your public records request is needed.

Under Ohio's public records law, a requester may ask for specific, existing records. Your request does not request any specific records, but rather requests that we gather information. "The proper subject of a public records request is a record that actually exists at the time of the request, not unrecorded or dispersed information the requester seeks to obtain." State ex rel. White v. Goldsberry, 85 Ohio St.3d 153; State ex rel. Kesterson v. Kent State Univ., 156 Ohio St.3d 22; State ex rel. Evans v. City of Parma, 2003-Ohio-1159; Capers v. White, 2002 Ohio App. LEXIS 1962; State ex rel. Fant v. Tober, 1993 Ohio App. LEXIS 2591; State ex rel. McElrath v. City of Cleveland, 2018-Ohio-1753; Natl. Fedn. of the Blind of Ohio v. Ohio Rehab. Servs. Comm., 2010-Ohio-3384.

We cannot comply with a public records request which does not seek specific, existing records. Please identify the records you are seeking with reasonable clarity, specifically describing the documents (not information - documents) you are seeking.
Thank you.
