The California Public Records Act gives everyone the right to inspect or get copies of public records. This log shows the requests the District has received, what was asked for, when the District responded, and the outcome. Requesters’ names and contact information are not posted.

This log lists public records requests received on or after July 1, 2025. Requests received before that date, and the District’s responses, remain part of the District’s records and are available on request.
