Description
Once a citizen submits a request for public records, the request is sent to the clerk who decides if it is a new request or has been fulfilled before. If this is a new request, a new folder is automatically generated and the clerk specifies the department that should fulfill the request. The department member will then gather the appropriate records into the newly created folder. When finished, the clerk is notified to make sure that all of the documents are appropriately redacted. Once redacted, the clerk either mails the records or holds them for pick up. If the requester specified delivery of the records by email, the records are automatically made available via the WebLink public portal and the requester is emailed a link.
Participants
Citizen: Submits the public records request
Individual Departments: Fulfill the new request
Clerk: Determines if the request is new or has already been fulfilled, selects the department to fulfill the request, checks to see that the documents have been redacted and either mails the records or holds them for pickup
Laserfiche Repository
All fulfilled requests are saved in Business Process Library\Public Records Requests\Requests Received\[Date submitted].
Additional Considerations
Laserfiche WebLink: This process requires the Laserfiche WebLink public portal so that citizens can access any records electronically.
Laserfiche Forms Public Portal: This process requires a Laserfiche Public Portal so that external users (citizens) can submit requests.
