Title 1. Chapter 23. City Records
1-23-1. Purpose.
(a) maintain and preserve accurate governmental records;
(b) provide ready access to records which are defined by law as open to the public;
(c) maintain the security of records which are defined by law as private, controlled, protected, or
otherwise confidential; and
(d) ensure the preservation of vital and historically valuable records.
(2) As the records of the City are a resource containing information which allows government programs to function, provides officials with a basis for making decisions and ensuring continuity with past operations, and permits citizens to research and document matters of personal and community importance, it is the intent of this Chapter that this resource be systematically and efficiently managed.
(3) It is the policy of the City that all city records, which are defined by applicable Utah statutory and case law as public records, will be made available to citizens within a reasonable time after request and at a reasonable cost as set forth in this Chapter and GRAMA.
(4) Tooele City recognizes a public policy interest in allowing the government to restrict access to certain
records for the public good.
