Public Information Disclosure Notification
Applicants are advised that any and all records (documents, correspondence, memoranda, etc.), regardless of the form
provided, received or maintained by City, may be a matter of public record and subject to release under the U.S. Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA). The City does however, have the right to redact any information which is exempt under the
statute before releasing the documents. The exemptions that would most pertain to financing or grant applications
include, but are not limited to, personal financial information, trade secrets, and commercial and financial information
which is privileged or confidential.
As such, the City suggests that any portion of the application or materials provided by the applicant that contains such
information (including for example, customer lists, processes, etc. or financial information) be clearly labeled with a
legend or marking such as "Confidential information -- Not Public Record". This does guarantee that the information so
marked will necessarily be exempt from public release, as the City will make any final determination about which
information is to be made available to the public, this will be helpful in identifying any records which may be exempt.
