When you file a GRAMA request with Murray, the city has 10 business days to get back to you. They will either release the records, deny the request with a reason, or ask for more time. If you get a denial, you have 30 days to file an appeal. The appeal goes to the city manager first. If that does not work out, you can take it to the State Records Committee.
Fees depend on what you request. Murray can charge for copy costs, staff time beyond the first 15 minutes, and electronic delivery. Get an estimate up front for large requests. The Utah State Archives has templates and guides that walk you through the process step by step.
