Good morning Mr. Cronkite,

Your email has been forwarded to me as I manage the City’s Freedom of Access Act requests.

The Freedom of Access Act guarantees the public access to existing public records only. It does not require the City to create new records in response to a request. Your FOAA request as written has been denied as it requires the City to create new records in response to your questions. 

If you have specific questions that you are seeking an answer to, you may reach out to the relevant staff member to ask, and a FOAA request is not required to do so.

 

Best,

Danica Lamontagne

City of Biddeford

Asst. to the City Manager
