Please note that the Police and Fire Pension Board is a separate legal entity from the City of Westland. Charges for research and copying of documents are applied to all requests. Please Contact the Police and Fire Pension Board secretary with questions at 734-467-3265 or email policefireretirement@cityofwestland.com. All information provided in this form is subject to Freedom of Information Act requests subject to State law.

I have requested a copy of records or a subscription to records or the opportunity to inspect records, pursuant to the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, Public Act 442 of 1976, MCL 15.231,et seq. I understand that the Police and Fire Pension Board must respond to this request within five (5) business days after receiving it, and that response may include taking a 10-business day extension. However, I hereby agree and stipulate to extend the Police and Fire Pension Board’s response time for this request. Dates less than 15 days from the date the FOIA request is submitted will be disregarded as the Police and Fire Pension Board's response will not exceed the minimum compliance guidelines.

If the Police and Fire Pension Board directly or indirectly administers or maintains an official internet presence, any public records available to the general public on that internet site at the time the request is made are exempt from any labor charges to redact (separate exempt information from non-exempt information).

If the FOIA coordinator knows or has reason to know that all or a portion of the requested information is available on its website, the Police and Fire Pension Board must notify the requestor in its written response that all or a portion of the requested information is available on its website. The written response, to the degree practicable in the specific instance, must include a specific webpage address where the requested information is available. On the detailed cost itemization form, the Police and Fire Pension Board must separate the requested public records that are available on its website from those that are not available on the website and must inform the requestor of the additional charge to receive copies of the public records that are available on its website.

If the Police and Fire Pension Board has included the website address for a record in its written response to the requestor and the requestor thereafter stipulates that the public record be provided to him or her in a paper format or other form, including digital media, the Police and Fire Pension Board must provide the public records in the specified format (if the Police and Fire Pension Board has the technological capability) but may use a fringe benefit multiplier greater than the 50%, not to exceed the actual costs of providing the information in the specified format.

I hereby stipulate that, even if some or all of the records are located on the Police and Fire Pension Board website, I am requesting that the Police and Fire Pension Board make copies of those records on the website and deliver them to me in the format I have requested above. I understand that some FOIA fees may apply.
