- Records concerning an ongoing investigation or prosecution. However, a public agency that is the subject of the ongoing investigation or prosecution is still required to make the record available upon request if it is in its custody. The record shall remain confidential until the proceedings regarding the investigation or prosecution have been terminated.
- Jury list data.
Public city records may also be accessible from third-party websites. Record seekers may either opt to use these non-governmental platforms to search for a specific record or multiple city records. However, users will need to provide enough information to assist with the search such as:
- The address of the requestor
- A case number or file number (if known)
- The location of the document or person involved
- The name of the subject involved in the record (not juvenile)
- The last known or current address of the registrant
Third-party sites are not sponsored by government agencies. Because of this, record availability and results may vary.
