Freedom of Information Requests (FOIL)
The Freedom of Information Law provides rights of access to records reflective of governmental decisions and policies that affect the lives of every New Yorker. Generally, the law provides access to existing records. Therefore, an agency does not have to create a new document in order to provide the requested information.
A Records Access Form is filled out by the individual requesting the information. If possible you should supply dates, titles, file designations, or any other information that will help find requested records. You may submit the form in person, by mail, fax or email*. All requests should be directed to:
Carrie Fracassi
Town Clerk / Receiver of Taxes
1300 Hilton Parma Corners Road
Hilton, NY 14468
Fax: 585-392-6659
townclerk@parmany.org
Within 5 business days of the receipt of a written request for a record reasonably described, the agency must make the record available, deny access in writing giving the reasons for denial, or furnish a written acknowledgment of receipt of the request and a statement of the approximate date when the request will be granted or denied.
Fees
Copies - $.25 per photocopy up to 9 by 14 inches. A fee for copy of other records may be charged based upon the actual cost of reproduction.
