the-georgia-open-records-act-lThe Georgia Open Records Act, § 50-18-70, et seq, outlines the process for how members of the public can request and inspect governmental records. The term "public record" shall mean all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, tapes, photographs, computer-based or generated information, or similar material prepared and maintained or received in the course of the operation of a public office or agency. "Public record" shall also mean such items received or maintained by a private person or entity on behalf of a public office or agency which are not otherwise subject to protection from disclosure.

In accordance with O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, et seq., all public records maintained by the City of Peachtree Corners shall be open for personal inspection and copying, except those which by order of a court or by law are specifically exempted from disclosure. Civil practice discovery requests by one or more of the methods allowed by Georgia law should not be submitted via an Open Records Request.

As authorized by Code Section 50-18-71 of the Open Records Act, after the first 15 minutes of a City employee’s time has been expended, the City charges a fee per hour (or fraction thereof) for search, retrieval, redaction, and other direct administrative costs involved with an open records request. This fee represents the salary of the lowest-paid full-time employee has the necessary skills and training to complete the request.
