Request an Open Record

Records maintained by the City of Leavenworth may be public records open for inspection and/or copying by the public. The Kansas Open Records Act (KORA) provides for some records to be kept private. These exceptions include personnel information of public employees, medical treatment records, items protected by attorney-client privilege or the rules of evidence, certain records containing personal information for census purposes, notes and preliminary drafts, criminal investigation records, and other specific records. For a complete list of exemption see K.S.A. 45-221.

The Kansas Open Records Act authorizes the City to charge fees for providing access to or furnish copies of the public records. The fee may be requested in advance and includes the cost of staff time and cost of reproducing the record.
