§ 25-4.604. Immediacy of response.

Notwithstanding the ten-day period for response to a request permitted in Government Code Section 6256, a request for a public record described in any nonexempt category under Section 25-4.204 which is received by a department head shall be satisfied no later than the close of business on the day following the request unless the department head advises the requester in writing that the request will be answered by a specific future date. The statutory deadlines are appropriate for more extensive or demanding requests, but shall not be used to delay fulfilling a simple, routine or otherwise readily answerable request. If the voluminous nature of the information requested, its location in a remote storage facility or the need to consult with legal counsel warrants an extension of ten days as provided in Government Code Section 6256.1, the requester shall be noticed as required within three business days of the request.
