Freedom of Information Act Policy

Approval Date: January 18, 2021

The following Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) policy has been established by the Fremont County Solid Waste Disposal District (District) Board of Directors to provide interested parties a complete understanding of all requirements associated with FOIA requests.

Interested parties are required to provide the District a written FOIA request clearly identifying the information they wish to receive. Written requests will be accepted via mailing at the following address:

Fremont County Solid Waste Disposal District

Attn: FOIA Request

PO Box 1400

Lander, WY 82520

Upon receipt, the District Superintendent will review all requests and develop a cost estimate based on time and materials. The cost estimate for time will be developed using the total compensation hourly rate for each and every staff member that will work on a request based on the anticipated time necessary to accurately complete the request. The cost estimate for materials will be developed calculating the actual material cost associated with the request.

Upon completion of the cost estimate, the District Superintendent will relate the cost estimate back to the group requesting the information. Payment will then be required prior to execution of the FOIA request.

Following a final completion of the FOIA request, a final cost will be developed. The final cost will be compared to the cost estimate. Any overpayment will be promptly returned to the interested party. Any underpayment will be promptly invoiced to the interested party with full payment required.

Any FOIA requests received will require compliance with this Freedom of Information Act policy
