Access Procedures for Public Data

 

These procedures describe how to obtain public data from MAC.

  1. Requests in Writing
  2. All requests for copies or inspection of public data should be submitted to MAC in writing. As clearly as possible, explain what data you wish to see and whether you wish to receive copies or inspect the data. MAC will not require you to identify yourself, state a reason for, or justify your request to gain access to public government data. However, you may be asked to provide certain identifying or clarifying information for the sole purpose of facilitating access to the data.

     

  3. Information Requests to Appropriate MAC Department
  4. All requests for data should be addressed directly to the proper department. If assistance is needed to locate the proper department, please contact MAC's General Offices at 612.726.8100.

  1. Response By MAC
  2. MAC staff will respond to you as soon as they can and in accordance with the state law governing these requests. Copies will be provided as soon as reasonably possible, depending on how many copies are requested and how many staff members are available to respond to the request.

     

  3. Inspection of Public Documents
  4. Public data will be available for inspection free of charge during regular business hours. Generally, regular business hours are 8:15 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

     

  5. Charge for Copies
  6. MAC charges $.25 per page ($.50 for two-sided copy) if 100 or fewer pages of black and white, letter or legal size paper copies are requested, and $.60 per page for color copies.

    In all other circumstances, including requests to provide data via facsimile, MAC calculates and charges for the actual costs of searching for and retrieving the data, including the cost of employee time, and for making, certifying, compiling and electronically transmitting copies of the data or the data themselves. However, if you are requesting data on yourself, MAC does not charge for searching for and retrieving that data.

     

  7. General Assistance
  8. For general questions or for copies of MAC's Data Practices Policy, please contact MAC's Legal Department at 612.794.4466 or 612.726.8192.
