Section II (I) of the County public records policy refers to review of public records. What does that mean?
It is not always necessary to make copies of a record. A person making a public records request also has the right to look at public records. Inspecting records may reduce costs if, by reviewing the records, the requester is able to better pinpoint what copies are really needed, or is satisfied with simply reading the records. Clackamas County is committed to using sustainable practices and tries to make copies only when necessary. Please note that the law does exempt some records or information from being inspected or copied. If you request information that is in this category you will be notified. Also, the custodian may impose reasonable security and/or administrative limitations on a records inspection in order to ensure protection of the records, and to minimize disruptions in the workplace.
