To: Kathy
Blakemore (clerk@cityofwillard.org)
City Clerk, Willard, Mo.
I would like to request that you make available to me the
following records: Willard’s Sunshine Law Policy, the Willard City Council’s
Sunshine Law Policy, the Willard Police Department’s Sunshine Law Policy, the
Willard Planning and Zoning’s Sunshine Law Policy, and the Willard Parks and
Recreation’s Sunshine Law Policy (all of which should cover the procedure and
cost for releasing documents under a Sunshine request as well as the name of
the city's Custodian of Records). If some or all of these institutions’
policies fall under one umbrella, please send me that Sunshine Law Policy.
I request that
the records responsive to my request be copied and sent to me at the following
address: P.O. Box 2418, Springfield, MO 65801. However, if the
policy can be sent electronically (as a Word, Excel, or Publisher document
or a .pdf) that would be preferred. Just return an electronic file to me via
e-mail at this address: editor@cfpmidweek.com
I would like to request that all fees for locating and copying the
records be waived.
The information I obtain through this request will be used for an
informational story in the Community Free Press. I am also collecting these
policies from other public bodies in Greene and Christian County in order
to compile a database of Sunshine policies that can be accessed and viewed by
members of the public for the purpose of comparison, and to also help public
bodies that do not have a policy be able to write one, as prescribed by state
law.
Please let me know in advance of any search or copying fees if the
apply and how/when those need to be paid.
Thank you.
