§ 30.23 REQUEST TO INSPECT OR COPY PUBLIC RECORD; TIME FOR RESPONSE.
   (A)   Any person may inspect and copy the public records of the town during regular business hours, unless the records are otherwise exempted from disclosure as provided herein (I.C. 5-14-3-4, as amended) or other applicable state or federal law. This section is subject to I.C. 5-14-3-5, as amended, relating to information that must be disclosed relating to an individual’s arrest.
   (B)   A request for inspection or copying must:
      (1)   Identify with reasonable particularity the record being requested; and
      (2)   Be in writing on a form designated by the town.
   (C)   The town must reply (approval or denial of request) to hand-delivered written requests within 24 business hours. The town must reply to written requests received by mail or facsimile within seven calendar days. Although the town must provide a reply within the proscribed time period, this does not require the town to actually produce the record(s) requested within that proscribed time period, but the reply must be made within a reasonable time following the request.
   (D)   If a request will be granted, the town shall either provide the requested copies or allow copies to be made on the town’s equipment or on the requester’s own equipment.
