  3. Public records requests will be made available within a prompt and reasonable period of time (R.C. 149.43(b)(1)).  "Prompt" and "Reasonable" will be determined by the volume, location where the records are stored, and the necessity for any legal review.  Call the office during business hours with questions regarding this process.
