All requests to examine, copy or obtain public records from the MDA must be in writing and delivered to the MDA via mail or in person. The request should provide as much detail as possible about the records being requested, include the preferred format (paper copy, flash drive, electronic or inspection) and must include the name, address, and contact information of the requester, including email address and phone number. Requests should be sent to: The public records officer will oversee compliance with the Act, but another MDA staff member may process the request. Therefore, these rules will refer to the public records officer “or designee.” The public records officer or designee and the MDA will provide the “fullest assistance” to requester; ensure that public records are protected from damage or disorganization; and prevent fulfilling public records requests from causing excessive interference with essential functions of the MDA.
