Submit a FOAA Request

Thanks to the Freedom of Access Act, citizens are allowed to inspect and copy public records. Requests to inspect or obtain copies of public records of the Town of Gray may be submitted verbally or in writing, in person, electronically, or over the phone.  Based on the amount of staff time and/or materials used to fulfill these requests, the requester may need to pay a fee. 

The first two hours of Town staff time spent searching for and reviewing public records is free. After that, staff time is billed at $25.00 per hour.  Please refer to the Town of Gray FOAA Policy for fee details. 

A request may be wholly or partly denied if the Town does not possess the requested record or if specific exemptions listed in the FOAA apply. If a denial is based on an exemption, the public records or portions of public records subject to the exemption will be redacted or omitted, the exemption will be explained, and an exemption log may be prepared and sent to the requester if requested. Any denial of a request for public records shall be issued to the requester within five (5) working days of receipt.

Requests for public records may be made:

• In person or by mail at: Town of Gray, ATTN: FOAA Officer, 24 Main Street, Gray, ME 04039
