MO-4443-I

This interim order deals with the appeals from two access decisions made under the Act in response to requests for records relating to retaining walls and tree protection plans at specified addresses. The city denied access to responsive records on the basis of section 15(a) (information published or available to the public). During mediation, the appellant raised the issue of the reasonableness of the city’s search.

In this order, the adjudicator does not uphold the city’s decisions. She also finds that the city did not conduct a reasonable search. The adjudicator orders the city to disclose the records to the appellant and to conduct a further search.
