“Open the attachment and process my request as received on October 31, 2026.”
He asks Oregon Educators Benefit Board to act on his October 31, 2026, request, writing, “Open the attachment and process my request as received on October 31, 2026.”
Public Records Officer,
On November 2, 2026, you wrote: “Unfortunately, we do not open attachments sent from outside the agency.”1 You wrote it in answer to my written request of October 31, 2026, which is the PDF attached to that email.2 The Attorney General’s manual says: “A public body’s legal obligation to respond to a public records request is triggered by receipt of a written request.”3 You have received mine. Declining to open it does not undo the receipt.
Open the attachment and process my request as received on October 31, 2026. Follow the statute [ORS 192.324(1)].
Thank you for your contribution to the record.
