The state Office of OpenRecords dismissed The Citi-
zens Voices appeal for elec-tronicrecords.
In a final determinationissued by theoffice, thestatesaid
because the newspaperaccepted and paid for paperrecords of natural
gas leasesfrom the Wyoming CountyRecorder of Deeds,the news-papers
appeal for electroniccopieswas moot.
As the Requester (sic) hasalready received the record
requested for a fee in compli-ance with the (Right-to-KnowLaw),
appeals officer Lucin-da Glinn wrote, there is nomatter for theOOR
toadjudi-cate, and the appeal is dis-missed.
On June 15, a reporter forThe Citizens
Voicerequestedanelectronic copy of an item-ized list of oil and gas
leasesfrom the Recorder of DeedsOffice.
Under the law, an agencymustprovide its openrecordsin the format
it maintainsthem in. Because the Record-er of Deeds office
maintainsits records electronically, it islegally obligated to
providethem electronically.
Th e o f f i ce de n ie d th enewspapers request for elec-tronic
records but offeredpaper recordsat a discountedprice.
The newspaper purchased
the paper records to updateits database of natural gas
leases in a timely mannerandappealed the decision.
A trio of reporters spentmore than 25 hours inputtingthe more
than 4,000 natural
gas leasesinto a spreadsheet.T h e C i t i z e ns Vo i c e
appealed the Recorder ofDeeds decision because thenewspaper
plans to updateitsdatabase again.
