Council updates Right-to-Know policy to clarify anonymous requests
Summary
Acting on solicitor guidance, council approved updated Right-to-Know Rules and Regulations language clarifying how anonymous requests are handled.
Union City Borough councilors unanimously approved an update to the borough’s Right-to-Know Rules and Regulations on July 23 to clarify anonymous requests, following advice from Solicitor Wachter.
Solicitor Wachter recommended the update to provide clearer guidance on how anonymous Right-to-Know requests are processed. Councilor Osborn moved to approve the updated information and Councilor Steadman seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
The minutes do not reproduce the exact revised language; the record indicates the update clarifies anonymous-request handling consistent with the solicitor’s recommendation. The change is intended to provide clearer administrative guidance for borough staff when processing public records requests.
Council did not attach statutory citations or additional rules in the minutes; staff will incorporate the solicitor’s recommended language into the borough’s Right-to-Know policy documents.
