Maintain a Public Records Request Intake Register Without Deciding Disclosure

The short version

Maintain a Public Records Request Intake Register Without Deciding Disclosure starts with a narrow administrative question: is the expected record present, identifiable, current, and routed to the right person? The specialist prepares evidence. An authorized owner makes any consequential decision.

Use one approved register containing received timestamp, original request text, approved identifier, coordinator, source, and official status. Copy source values as written and link the native record. If two sources disagree, preserve both values and mark the conflict instead of quietly choosing one.

The specialist must escalate disclosure, exemptions, legal deadlines, fees, or redactions. Missing permission is also an exception. It is not permission to download sensitive material, use a personal account, or move records into an open folder.

Keep ready, missing evidence, source conflict, and owner review as separate states. Administrative completeness must not look like technical, financial, legal, clinical, safety, or policy approval.

Check a recurring sample against the original records. Count timestamp errors, changed request text, missing owners, and decisions without evidence separately so the manager can see whether the routine, access model, upstream source, or approval path needs repair.

The handoff lists completed records, blocked items, the exact question on each exception, and its next owner. That is the finish line for the support lane; approval remains outside it.
