In Minnesota, you have a right to access public information from the City of Nowthen. This is based on the Data Practices Act (Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13), which generally considers all government information "public" unless a specific law says otherwise. "Government data" includes all recorded information the city has, like papers, emails, and photos. You can look at public data for free, and you can also get copies, though there might be a charge for copies. You always have the right to look at the data for free before deciding if you want copies.
To request data, simply submit a written request to the City of Nowthen. You can do this by filling out the online webform below, printing the PDF form attachment at the bottom of the page and mailing it to the City of Nowthen at 8188 199th Ave NW, Nowthen, MN 55330, or in person at the city office. Your request should clearly state that you're asking for data under the Data Practices Act, whether you want to inspect or get copies, and a clear description of the data you're looking for. You don't have to identify yourself or explain why you want the data, but providing contact information is helpful if we need to clarify your request or send you copies. If we cannot contact you for clarification, we may not be able to process your request. We'll do our best to process your request promptly; if we don't have the data, or if it's not public, we'll let you know. If we have the public data you're looking for, we'll arrange a time for you to inspect it or provide you with copies as soon as possible.
