See last page for form.

REQUESTS

Requests shall be in writing using the Borough form provided above or the State form and

submitted to the Open Records Officer. Requests shall identify or describe the records sought with

sufficient specificity to enable Borough of Kennett Square to ascertain which records are being

requested. Requests may be submitted in person, by e-mail, facsimile or U.S. mail.

IV.

FEES

Fees associated with the processing of requests are set by the Pennsylvania Office of Open

Records. All fees must be paid before access to the records is granted. The Borough of Kennett

Square’s fee for copying is 25¢ per single page.

RESPONSE

Borough of Kennett Square will make a good faith effort to provide the requested records as

promptly as possible under the circumstances. As soon as possible, but no later than five (5)

business days after actual receipt of a request, the Open Records Officer will respond to the request

in a manner consistent with the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law. In the event that Borough of

Kennett Square fails to timely respond, the request shall be deemed denied.
