Public Records Act Information Sheet
Pursuant to Government Code §7922.600, in order to make a focused and effective request for records, please include the following applicable information to ensure the scope of the request is narrow and clear enough for personnel to determine if Sacramento County has the records you are requesting:
• The subject of the record
• A clear, concise, and specific description of the record(s) being requested
• The date(s) of the record(s), or a time period for your request (e.g.: March 2020)
• Full names for the individuals and/or agencies included in your request, including proper spelling
• ID(s) for the individual(s) included in your request if applicable, and/or current/former agency
• Any additional information that helps staff identify the record(s) being requested
• Your contact information for response to your request, preferably an email address
Sacramento County will review your request promptly and will acknowledge your request within 10 calendar days of receipt. If the 10th day falls on the weekend or holiday, the County will respond on the next business day. Sacramento County may extend the response for an additional 14 days if there is a need for more time to search for and collect the records from separate facilities, to search for voluminous records, to consult with another interested agency or department, or to compile electronic records.
