This notice is posted pursuant to Fla. Stat. 119.12 and any and all other applicable local, State, and Federal laws.

A public record is defined by Florida Statutes as all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, tapes, data processing software, or other material, regardless of the physical form, characteristics, or means of transmission, made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any agency FS 119.011(1)

Florida law states that an agency must respond within a "limited reasonable time". This is the time it takes to review the request, search, retrieve and process records for release. Some requests may only take a few minutes while others may take weeks. The length of time varies by request.

If the request takes less than 30 minutes of staff time and no significant resources are expended, there is no labor charge, only the cost of duplicating the records. If the request takes more than 30 minutes of staff time you may be charged for labor.

Under Florida law, email addresses are public records. If you do not want your email address released in response to a public-records request, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing.

The City of Boynton Beach will provide all documents in the format in which we have them. The City is not required to create documents in response to Public Records requests.
