Consent to Non-Statutory Extension of City’s Response Time
I have requested a copy of records or a subscription to records or the opportunity to inspect records, pursuant to the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, Public Act 442 of 1976, MCL 15.231,et seq. I understand that the City must respond to this request within five (5) business days after receiving it, and that response may include taking a 10-business day extension. However, I hereby agree and stipulate to extend the City’s response time for this request. Dates less than 15 days from the date the FOIA request is submitted will be disregarded as the city's response will not exceed the minimum compliance guidelines.
Records Located on Website
If the City directly or indirectly administers or maintains an official internet presence, any public records available to the general public on that internet site at the time the request is made are exempt from any labor charges to redact (separate exempt information from non-exempt information).If the FOIA coordinator knows or has reason to know that all or a portion of the requested information is available on its website, the City must notify the requestor in its written response that all or a portion of the requested information is available on its website. The written response, to the degree practicable in the specific instance, must include a specific webpage address where the requested information is available. On the detailed cost itemization form, the City must separate the requested public records that are available on its website from those that are not available on the website and must inform the requestor of the additional charge to receive copies of the public records that are available on its website.If the City has included the website address for a record in its written response to the requestor and the requestor thereafter stipulates that the public record be provided to him or her in a paper format or other form, including digital media, the City must provide the public records in the specified format (if the City has the technological capability) but may use a fringe benefit multiplier greater than the 50%, not to exceed the actual costs of providing the information in the specified format.
Request for Copies / Duplication of Records on City Website
I hereby stipulate that, even if some or all of the records are located on a City website, I am requesting that the City make copies of those records on the website and deliver them to me in the format I have requested above. I understand that some FOIA fees may apply.
