The form captures all necessary details to identify, locate, and fulfill records requests while maintaining compliance with open records statutes.

Common record types requested include trail counter data showing seasonal usage patterns, reservation system revenue allocation reports, habitat restoration project grant documentation, maintenance logs, contract records, environmental impact assessments, and board meeting minutes.
