RE: FOIL - Blanket bond or individual undertakings filed by Fire District(s)
Doreen,
My office received your FOIL request for:
"Blanket Bond or individual undertaking(s) filed with the Wappinger Town Clerk by any Fire District Officer,
including Fire District Treasurer, for 2010 and 2011".
Your request was assigned serial #87 of the year 2011.
With respect to your request, the Freedom of Information Law pertains to agency
records, such as those of a town, and 986(4) of the Law defines the term "record" expansively to
include:
"any information kept, held, filed, produced, reproduced by, with or
for an agency or the state legislature, in any physical form
whatsoever including, but not limited to, reports, statements,
examinations, memoranda, opinions, folders, files, books, manuals,
pamphlets, forms, papers, designs, drawings, maps, photos, letters,
microfilms, computer tapes or discs, rules, regulations or codes"
As we spoke about over the past few weeks, there are no blanket bonds or individual undertakings filed at the Town by
any Fire District within the Town for the years 2010 and 2011. In other words, you are requesting a record that doesn't
exist at this time. Based on the fact that FOIL does not apply to records that do not exist and does not require an agency
to create records that do not already exist, your FOIL request has been closed.
While my interpretation of the Freedom of Information does not constitute this as a denial, you are welcome to file an
appeal. Any appeals should be submitted to the Records Management Officer, 20 Middlebush Road, Wappingers Falls,
NY 12590. The appeal will be forwarded to the Town Board and FOIL Appeals Officer.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Chris Masterson, Town Clerk
Town of Wappinger
