2 Don t Fear Transparency Embracing transparency is the best policy The goal of the Right-to-Know Law (as said by the Supreme Court) is to empower citizens by affording them access to information concerning the activities of their government Constituents expect transparency
3 Cut RTK Requests Up Front Many records can/should be instantly available Constituents want information online Meeting minutes Budget documents, including spending RFPs and contracts Election results Job openings Park maps
4 Look at Other County Websites No need to reinvent the wheel Counties with very good websites include: Lancaster County Montgomery County Think like a constituent, not an official How do I? section on website
5 Have a Good AORO AORO = Agency Open Records Officer Sometimes called Right-to-Know Officer A good AORO is absolutely vital Job responsibilities: Communicating with requesters Understanding agency record-keeping Meeting tight, inflexible deadlines
6 Understand the Right-to-Know Law All gov t records are presumed to be public Exceptions 30 exceptions in RTKL itself Other state statutes Federal law Court orders
7 Exceptions to the RTKL Exceptions in the RTKL include: Public safety & personal safety Social Security #s, driver s license #s Employee performance reviews Medical records Internal, predecisional deliberations Certain investigative records
8 How the RTKL Applies to You A record is information, regardless of physical form or characteristics, that documents a transaction or activity of an agency and that is created, received or retained pursuant to law or in connection with a transaction, business or activity of the agency
9 How the RTKL Applies to You The Right-to-Know Law Doesn t distinguish between s & paper Doesn t distinguish between agency devices & personal devices It only cares if the document / / whatever is a record and then if that record is a public record
10 Best Practice Whenever possible: Use agency devices for agency work Dramatically simplifies process of responding to RTK requests and the process of gathering documents for any other purpose
11 Record Retention The RTKL does not address record retention Goal is a strong, effective retention policy Must balance agency needs & transparency Can t simply say 0 days for everything PHMC has a County Records Manual Fantastic starting point PHMC staff can be a great resource
12 Sunshine Act Complementary to the Right-to-Know Law RTKL = Open Records Act Sunshine Act = Open Meetings Act When agencies must hold public meetings OOR website s Sunshine Act page offers practical tips about the law
13 Training from the OOR Training on the RTKL & Sunshine Act OOR website filled with information OOR also provides on-site training Details on OOR website Or call George Spiess,
14 Don t Feel Overwhelmed It can be a lot, but it s manageable In 2014, OOR heard 2,017 appeals Total appeals, not total requests Nearly 60% involved local agencies Only 13.4% (271) involved counties On average, each county had ~4 appeals to the OOR in 2014
15 Don t Feel Overwhelmed
16 The Office of Open Records One of my goals is to simplify the RTK process for agencies & requesters Constantly updating content New AORO Guidebook for agencies Sample affidavit forms for agencies Suggestions welcome
17 Open Records in PA Blog Discussing RTKL & other transparency issues Significant OOR Final Determinations Significant court decisions OOR statistics and data Open Records in Pennsylvania
18 Mediation Goal: Resolve more cases informally OOR authorized to establish mediation Limited resources made this difficult in past Resources still limited, but moving forward No harm in agreeing to mediation Worst-case scenario: FD is slightly delayed
19 Who Files Appeals? In 2014, appeals were filed by: 45.1% average citizens 38.8% inmates (likely >40% in 2015) 8.4% companies 7.2% reporters / media 0.5% government officials
20 Senate Bill 411 Significant amendments to the RTKL Separate fees for commercial requesters Limits on inmate requests OOR procedural improvements Numerous clarifications State-related universities: online databases Supported by CCAP
