If records have been sent for de struction but not yet destroyed when an access request is received, does the public body have to include such records in the request process?
Yes. When a request for records is received all records requested are frozen and no further actions may be taken to destroy the requested records if they have been designated for destruction. A FOIPOP request for records includes all records, which have not been destroyed at the time the request was received. Records can include e-mail records that have not yet been deleted from your e-mail system, and records that have been designated and sent for destruction but not yet destroyed.
