Notice Regarding Public Records Except as otherwise provided in §2.88.060 of the Omro Municipal Code and §19.36 Wis. Stats., any person has a right to inspect a record and to make or receive a copy of any record as provided in §19.35, Wis. Stats. and §2.88 of the City of Omro Municipal Code of Ordinances.
In accordance with §2.88.030 of the Omro Municipal Code and §19.33 of the Wis. Stats., Barbara Van Clake, Clerk, shall act as the legal Records Custodian for the City of Omro as well as the designated custodian of all records of the common council and any such committees, commissions, boards or other authorities created by ordinance or resolution of the common council.
Requests to inspect public records may be made to Barbara Van Clake in her capacity as City Clerk and Records Custodian, at the Omro City Hall, 205 S. Webster Avenue, Omro, WI 54963.
Public records may be requested, inspected and copies obtained during normal business hours of Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

In these cases, the Records Custodian may charge for any and all costs associated with complying with an open record request up to and including applicable shipping, mailing and hourly wages of Records Custodian or designee thereof. Per §19.35(3)(f) a prepayment of such costs associated with an open record request in excess of $5.00 may be required prior to processing such open records request.
