Current through Register Vol. 24-06, March 15, 2024
(1) Acknowledging receipt of the request. The public records officer shall respond within five business days from receipt of a request by doing one or more of the following:
(2) Requests for clarification. In acknowledging receipt of a public record request that is unclear, WSSDA may ask the requestor to clarify what information the requestor is seeking.
(3) Additional time. Additional time required to respond to a request may be based upon the following:
(4) Processing requests. WSSDA will process requests in the order in which they are received. WSSDA may modify this approach as necessary to ensure that requests that seek larger volumes of records, require closer review, or are otherwise more time consuming, do not unreasonably delay simpler, more routine requests.
(5) Providing records in installments. When the number of responsive records to a request is voluminous and the time for locating, assembling, or reviewing the records is considerable, the public records officer may choose to respond in installments.
(6) Providing electronic records.
(7) Bot requests. WSSDA shall deny a computer-generated bot request that is one of multiple requests from the requestor within a 24 hour period whenever WSSDA establishes that responding to the multiple bot requests would cause excessive interference with WSSDA's other essential functions;
(8) If WSSDA inadvertently fails to respond in writing within five business days of receipt of the request for disclosure, the requestor can contact the public records officer or executive director to determine the reason for the failure to respond;
