City adopts updated data practices model language and approves airport optimization study

Jul 30, 2026

Council adopted state-model updates to the city’s data practices policy (moving from a '10 business day' standard to 'as soon as reasonably possible' and adding local designees) and approved a $25,500 airport optimization study with a $7,650 city share.

The full story

City administrator Andrew Brimseth briefed the committee on state-recommended updates to the local data practices policy, noting the Department of Administration’s model language removes the fixed 'within 10 business days' requirement and replaces it with an 'as soon as reasonably possible' standard to reflect high volumes of requests. Brimseth also proposed adding local designees for responsiveness and a two-business-day consolidation window for multiple requests for the purpose of computing copy costs.
