CORA - Open Records Request
The Board of Directors has approved a resolution on 02/15/2018 of adopting a policy of responding to open records requests.
Requests should be as detailed as possible including date, type of record, etc. If the document name is unknown, provide brief, but specific description of the document or information requested (note date of issuance and location of the document, if known). A request which is broad, vague, or too voluminous may cause a delay in the time it takes to produce the records.
If the records are available pursuant to C.R.S. 24-72-201 et seq., the records shall be made available for inspection within three working days of receipt of the request. If extenuating circumstances exist as outlined in C.R.S. § 24-72-203, the period may be extended by an additional seven working days
As permitted under Colorado State Law, PFWD charges a fee for CORA requests.
All payments must be paid to PFWD by money order or cashier's check for a deposit up front up to $1,000.
The fee is a charge that is intended to cover a portion of the costs that PFWD incurs in responding to CORA requests. There will be no charge for CORA requests that take less than 1 hours to complete. CORA requests that take longer than 1 hours of PFWD staff/BOD time for the research and compilation of documents will be subject to a charge of $35 per hour, and CORA requests that require production of copies of pages will be charged 25 cents per page.
To send an request, please either do:
- Email PFWD at pfwd@pfwd.org with your description of record requests, along with: full name, telephone number, home address and email address
- Send an mail to PFWD, 7340 McFerran Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80908. As in accordance to the above, please put in your full name, telephone number, home address and email address with your description of record requests.
