RE: Public Records Request
Good afternoon,

We are in receipt of your request. LUBA staff has conducted a reasonable search for records responsive to your request. No records responsive to your request were located.

To the extent your request seeks records documenting the search process itself, the agency is not aware of any such records. Although LUBA staff conducted searches for potentially responsive records, the Oregon Public Records Law provides access to existing records and does not require a public body to create new records describing searches that were conducted. Accordingly, there are no records responsive to this portion of your request.

If you have another request or additional information regarding your original request, please let us know. Otherwise, we will consider the request concluded.

Best,
