18Education, Department of145121155 granted (2 were portions of multi-part requests). 6 fee reductions.

19Employment Relations Board63All of them.All of them.We typically don't charge for public records and I don't recall any deviation from that in 2018.I am not aware that we have collected any fees in 2018 related to fulfilling a public records request, but I can double check.
20Employment, Department of16151During 2018, the Employment Department received three requests for fee waivers or reductions. We did not grant or deny any of the requests as the information was either under the monetary amount threshold, we were not the custodians of the information, or the information was confidential and we could not provide it.The Employment Department did not collect any fees for public records requests in 2018.
21Energy, Department of5649 of the 56 were completed within 15 days. All requests were responded to within 15 days and we communicated regularly with requesters about the timeline for fulfilling their requests56We received one formal request for a fee waiver; it was granted. We charged seven people requesting records out of 56 total requests. Many requesters were not charged, and therefore did not need to request a waiver, because their requests were quickly fulfilled, or because there was an obvious public interest. $4,867.00
22Environmental Quality, Department of46354132 (Note that our current system cannot subtract pauses while waiting for requester responses, so many that took longer than 15 business days to complete were still in compliance with the statutory requirements)4588 (same caveats as above apply)23 waiver requests approved; 0 denied; 21 submitted but not needed because the request took less than 30 minutesApproximately $20,000 (this is an estimate due to limitations of our current system)
23Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying, Board of5050503 requested and waived. 2 requested and denied. $2,180
24Fish and Wildlife, Department of44 Complex requests; 177 Simple requests; and 70 requests for list of license holders. 19 complex requests were fulfilled within 15 working days; 177 Simple requests were fulfilled within 10 working days or less; and 70 request for lists of license holders fulfilled with in 5 working days.

29Higher Education Coordinating Commission9 (some of which were revised requests by the same individuals). We also had 2 requests that were originally stated as public records requests but were deemed to not be public records requests but simply information requests on agency activities.Of the 9 requests (again, some of which were revised requests by the same individuals), 2 were completed entirely within 15 business days. For the others, we met the requirement to respond or update because of a necessary delay or need for clarification, and 6 were completed at a later date. One received in late 2018 is still in progress.Of the 9 requests (again, some of which were revised requests by the same individuals), 6 were completed within 60 business days, 2 were delayed and completed at a later date, and one is still in progress. 1 fee reduction and 1 waiver. (NOTE: neither was requested formally, but was granted by our agency. The reduction was provided proactively because we underestimated the number of pages of records in our original cost estimate that was agreed to, and we ultimately charged them no more than what they had agreed to proceed on. $958
30Human Services, Department of730417212At this time, the agency doesn’t track the amount of fee waivers received. However, DHS has developed a workgroup to assess the gaps in the current process and create a proposal on how to address them.

34Land Use Board of AppealsUnknown; LUBA receives requests from the public over the phone or by email on a daily basis for information about pending or past appeals of land use decisions.

51Parks and Recreation, Department of2015 out of 20 were fulfilled within 10 days.

In one case, the requester did not receive prompt confirmation that their request was received. When the missed request was processed, it was fulfilled within a few hours.20Requests for fee waivers: 0. Denied: 0.0. We very rarely request a fee, except where an extraordinary amount of staff time or DOJ legal fees are involved.
52Pharmacy, Board ofApproximately 570, we are still working on getting all requests recorded in one place.We do not have a log to reflect this, however the majority are responded to within 24 hours and certainly in less than 15 business days. Without a specific log, I estimate that all were responded to within 60 days, we strive to respond within a week or two for all requests. It may take longer if the request is very detailed and we have to compile a significant amount of information that is not easily gathered.We do not usually get requests for a fee waiver or reduction. Although we do at times offer waivers to state, county and local governments or the news media. None have been denied. $2030
53Physical Therapist Licensing Board0NANANANA
54Police, Oregon StateOSP’s Central Records Section (CRS): 4764 Approximately 800 public records requests4085We do not track requests for fee waivers. In order to complete this survey OSP did a key word search in our database and found the following information. OSP had 12 requests for fee waivers. Of the 12 requests for fee waivers OSP approved 2 requests for a full fee waiver, gave 5 reductions in fees and denied 5 fee waivers. Oregon State Police collected $59,187 in public records fees during 2018.
55Psychiatric Security Review Board424242As a show of goodwill and transparency, PSRB did not charge any fees for any of its records requests during 2018.

57Public Safety Standards and Training, Department of383 (Does not include requests from constituents or requests for information only)32756Per DAS policy the first half hour of staff time is always waived. We did not track how many waivers, if any, were granted, denied or partially denied in 2018.$3,025.75 was billed, $2,245.25 was collected in 2018. The difference can be accounted for by individual's choosing not to pursue their request or sending in checks for accounts with insufficient funds.
58Public Utility Commission8477, the remaining outliers were due to my vacation time or delayed payment from requestor84None and noneAbout $987
59Revenue, Department ofRequests for copies of prior years’ tax returns: 1,652 Requests for all other agency records: 76 Requests for all other agency records: 68Requests for all other agency records: 76No waiver or reduction requests received for 2018.The majority of records we charged for were copies of prior years’ tax returns. Those copies are $5 each, totaling $10,115 for 2018. We only had two requests for all other agency records in 2018 for which we charged. The total collected was $76.50.

65Watershed Enhancement BoardThreeThreeThreeNo fees were charged on any of the three requests.$0
66Youth AuthorityWe do not track at this time. We do not have a tracking system in one place nor adequate staffing levels. Very few from general public or media. Large amount from defense attorneys. We track each request on a form, and would have to audit these to know. Likely very few as most require getting records from archives, copying, and redacting. However, the requester would know this at the point of our acknowledging the request. As the majority of our requests are for youth files, not agency records, they take more time. We do not audit or have a way to track. However my sense is that due to low staffing we have slipped in this area. In previous years when I asked staff the answer was yes. However, I do not believe we have been able to keep to this standard for the release of protected youth records. Maybe 1. We have some youth records that we release at no charge, they do not have to ask. I believe we have had one media request where we waived the charge. Unknown.

For the other request, a portion of that time was spent clarifying the request with the requestor and waiting for a check from the requestor) This is not something we have tracked closely.

I estimate that the majority of records requests are completed within 15 days. More involved requests, such as those for emails typically take longer than 15 days.Requests can be served on various departments and there is no one county department that maintains a count of requests. I estimate that the majority of requests are completed within 15 days. More involved requests typically take longer than 15 days. I am aware of only a few isolated records requests that took longer than 60 days to complete.The County Administrator is authorized to grant a fee waiver. I am aware of one 3 or 4 situations in 2018 in which fees were either waived or reduced.This is difficult to estimate in that various departments handle their own records requests and charge fees. County Counsel charged and collected $1,177 in fees for responding to public records requests.

Because of the confidential nature of tax information, requests for prior years’ tax returns follow a different process than requests for all other agency records. This is why there are two separate numbers provided for some of our subsequent responses. We charge a flat $5 rate for each copy of a tax return we provide. That cost includes the average time needed to pull, print/copy, and mail the record, and associated materials costs. For all other records requests, we only track the cost associated with fulfilling the request if it will likely exceed $25 (one hour of clerical-level work). If we believe that’s the case, we’ll prepare an estimate of the cost of the staff time and materials (if applicable) required to fulfill the request and provide it to the requester. We (Communications Section) participate in the agency's new employee orientation each month and our presentation includes information on public records basics, which includes the definition of public records, retention requirements, examples of agency records that are regularly requested and provided, agency process for routing and responding to requests, etc. We also presented information on public records at the agency's town hall forum during 2018. Employees can attend town hall in person, watch it live online, and access the recording of it at a later date. We also field questions from staff and managers throughout the year regarding public records and records retention.

The City incurs material costs only to capture the actual price and wear/tear on City equipment. Yes. The City Recorder provided training on records request requirements to each department after attending an Oregon Association of Municipal Recorders conference in September of 2017. Karen Spoonts, our City Recorder, along with the City Attorney’s Office, held a meeting to provide a training on the new law and to provide guidance on how to use and respond to the records request form on Seamless Docs. Additionally, the City updated its public records request policy in early 2018. City staff received updates and training on how and when to use the new policy. Further, the City updated its website to ensure that the public records request form was easily accessible to the public from every department’s web page.

PO Box 1083, Corvallis OR 97339-1083https://apps.corvallisoregon.gov/webdocs/showdoc.aspx?docID=976934We only track costs when they involve a charge to fulfill requests. Many of our requests are provided for free (simple, easy to fulfill immediately). We do not track costs for those. For requests that are complex, staff gathering the data track how much time they spend and we charge according to the hourly rate it costs the city for that particular employee. We provide a substantial amount of public records through our Laserfiche web portal and whenever possible we point the requestor to where they could obtain the information through that path for free. If they prefer to pay our staff to gather the information, we do so. Yes. As part of Council orientation, the City Recorder and City Attorney provide sessions about public records. Our Council terms are two years, and we just elected a new body, so their training was held in late 2018, shortly before they took office in January 2019.
