Start with what is already published
Search the current agenda portal for meeting packets, staff reports, and minutes. For meetings before September 2024, the City provides a separate archive. The current portal and old archive are not interchangeable.
Be specific about the record
Include a project, date range, department, or agreement name. Ask for existing records rather than requiring staff to create a new analysis. For example, you might seek an executed construction agreement, its amendments, and related invoices for a named project.
A draft you can adapt
Creating or copying a draft does not submit it. Use the City’s form to send your request. No draft content is transmitted to Artesia Watch.
