Requestors will be contacted within the time allotted by law with a response to their request; at that time the requestor will be informed of any fees associated with their request.
Certified Documents
For an additional charge documents may be certified. Certified documents have a signed and sealed letter from the Village Clerk stating that the attached documents are true and correct copies of the original documents on file with the Village of Beach Park. The Clerk’s Office advises those needing public records for legal proceedings to have their documents certified.
Please note that the requestor will be notified if any records they have requested need to be sent out for reproduction/printing. The requestor will be charged at cost for said reproductions/printing jobs.
