Freedom of Information Law (FOIL)
New York State’s Freedom of Information Law (Public Officers Law §87 et. seq. ) allows members of the public to access records of governmental agencies. FOIL provides a process for the review and copying of an agency’s records. More information about the Freedom of Information Law can be found at: http://www.dos.state.ny.us/coog/foil2.html.
FOIL requests may be submitted to the Town Clerk during regular business hours. Here is a link to the FOIL application:
