SUMMARY: Attached as Exhibit 3-A is Resolution No. 2016-15 that establishes a Public Records Act policy for the Water Management District. Adoption of this policy would complete the District’s application to the Special District Leadership Foundation (SDLF) to receive the District Transparency Certificate of Excellence. Achievement of the Transparency Certificate of Excellence will exhibit to the public that the District values transparency in its operations and governance. No other action is required of the Board in order to complete and submit the application to the SDLF. The Administrative Committee reviewed this resolution on September 12, 2016 and voted 3 to 0 to approve.

The proposed Public Records Act policy refers to a Public Records Act Request Form. That document is on the District’s website and has been in use by the public for two years (see http://www.mpwmd.net/who-we-are/contact-us/public-records-act-requests/).

RECOMMENDATION: Review and adopt the Public Records Act policy as recommended by the Administrative Committee.

IMPACTS TO STAFF/RESOURCES: None
