Requests for records may be made in person, either orally or in writing, by email, by mail, or by fax. Requests for records shall be processed as soon as practicable and without delay. In some cases, records may require retrieval and therefore may not be immediately available for inspection. No original public records of the Town shall be removed from the possession of the custodian.

The Clerk/Treasurer, Michelle Baumeister, is the legal custodian of the records of the Town of Geneva.

If the custodian determines that portions of any records requested contain information which should not be released by law, the custodian shall redact such records to delete such material and shall thereafter release the balance.

The Town of Geneva is not required to purchase or lease photocopying, duplication, photographic, or other equipment, or to provide a separate room for inspection, copying, or abstracting of records.

The following fees will be charged for providing copies of records;

Photocopies:                                                                               $.25 per page

Locating a record:                                                                       $25 per hour

If the cost of locating a record retained by the clerk exceeds $50.00, that cost will be charged to the person making the request. Additionally, if the total estimated cost of reproduction and/or location of record exceeds $5.00, prepayment may be required before the record is provided to the person.
