  • For Police Reports:

  • By law, the City must acknowledge receipt of a public records request within five (5) business days and must produce records or a written status update within fifteen (15) business days. Electronic documents that can be located through a routine file search of 15 minutes or less will be provided at no charge. If a request requires more than 15 minutes of staff time, fees will apply. Written authorization and prepayment are required before any staff research or records retrieval is conducted. [Resolution #2024-05]

    In accordance with Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS 192.324(4)(a)), the City is authorized to charge fees for responding to public records requests. These fees must be paid in full before any records are released. If actual costs exceed the written estimate, the requester will be notified. If the actual cost is less, the City will issue a refund. Per ORS 192.329(3)(b), if payment is required, the requester has sixty (60) days to pay the fee. If payment is not received within that time, the City will consider the request closed. For a full list of fees, refer to page 15 of the City’s Master Fee Schedule at https://www.ci.king-city.or.us/departments/finance/financial_reports.php

    Please note: The City is not obligated to create a record that does not already exist in order to fulfill a request. Records will be provided only as allowed under Oregon law.
