Public Records Act Requests and SB 272

The District offers access to our public records upon request, as required by the California Public Records Act, Government Code sections 6250 to 6270. The Public Records Act is designed to give the public access to information in possession of public agencies, such as Truckee Tahoe Airport District, (TTAD), subject to certain exemptions. While access to records is provided at no charge, we are allowed to recover copying costs from the requestor. Please see the Fee Schedule attached to the Records Request Form link below. Requestors will need to email the Records Request Form to District Clerk, Lauren Tapia. Lauren's email link is located on the District Staff webpage. 

What are "Public Records"?

“Public Records” include any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public’s business prepared, owned, used or retained by TTAD regardless of physical form or characteristics. In legal terms, “writing” means handwriting, typewriting, printing, photostatting, photocopying, photographing, transmitting by electronic mail or facsimile, and every other means of recording upon any tangible thing, any form of communication or representation, including letters, words, pictures, sounds or symbols or any combination thereof, and any record thereby created, regardless of the manner in which the record has been stored. The Public Records Act covers only records that already exist. It does not require creation of documents, lists or compilations.

Enterprise System

A software application or computer system that collects, stores, exchanges and analyzes information that the agency uses that is both of the following:

• A multi-departmental system or a system that contains information collected about the public.
• A system that serves as an original source of data within an agency.

An Enterprise System shall not include any of the following:

• Information Technology security systems, including firewalls and other cybersecurity systems.
• Physical access control systems, employee identification management systems, video monitoring and other physical control systems.
• Infrastructure and mechanical control systems, including those that control or manage street lights, electrical, natural gas or water or sewer functions.
• Systems related to 911 dispatch and operation or emergency services.
• Systems that would be restricted from disclosure by Section 6254.19.
• The specific records that the information technology system collects, stores, exchanges or analyzes

Exception

If the public interest served by not disclosing the information described clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure, the local agency may instead provide a system name, brief title or identifier of the system.
