The appellant sought access to all records related to a harassment complaint she filed with the municipality, including the final investigation report and all invoices, emails and details of the investigation services provided. The municipality issued a decision granting the appellant access to some emails, in part. The municipality did not locate any other records responsive to the appellant’s request. The appellant challenged the reasonableness of the municipality’s search for responsive records.
In this interim order, the adjudicator finds that the municipality did not conduct a reasonable search for records, and she orders the municipality to conduct a further search and issue a new access decision.
