1. What is the purpose of a Public Records Request Form?

The Public Records Request Form aids both the employee and the requester by clarifying precisely what information is being requested, as well as documenting what the requester inspected or received from the city in return. The Public Records Request Form also documents any payment received and notes whether or not any information has been redacted (excluded) from the record due to confidentiality.

In other words, the Public Records Request Form aids both the requester and the City of Eloy by accurately documenting exactly what was requested and what was received in return.

2. Are all records public records?

Although most information the City of Eloy houses is public and therefore subject to disclosure, some information is considered to be confidential. As custodians of confidential information, Eloy is obligated to protect such things as:

• Social security numbers


• Dates of birth


• The identity of undercover police officers


• Medical records

Additional information may be considered confidential and protected from disclosure depending upon the specific information requested and the circumstances surrounding the request.
