The Village recognizes that the records it possesses belong to the public, not to Village officials. However, Village officials have an obligation to preserve these records in an orderly manner to avoid making copies of records not requested, which is a waste of taxpayers’ money, and not to release any record that is either not a public record or contains information which is not public information unless that information has been redacted from the record.
