Thank you for your patience as we have worked to fill your request.
A separate email will be sent to you containing a link to the files you've requested. Please be sure to download the files to your own personal device as the link will expire on December 2nd, 2019.
Included within the link are:

* A Public Records Request form, with date of request and description of the request, including the documents produced are included from the Planning and Building Divisions of the Community Services Department for the calendar years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Please note, requestor's name and address information has been redacted. Organizational affiliation is not included on the form, and therefore unavailable.

* Washoe County's Public Records policy. This is policy currently under revision. Fee schedule is attached; however, we do not currently charge fees for public records requests.

* Fees for public records are not tracked as revenue, and because we currently do not charge fees, there isn't a review/expense record relating to records requested for the calendar years 2016, 2017 and 2018.

We are hopeful that the information included in this packet is useful and meets the request submitted to our office via Washoe 311 on September 17, 2019.
