The city provides a standardized FOIA Form with fields for the Name of Public Body, Requestor's Name, Request Date, address, email, phone, and a detailed description of the Records Requested. Be as specific as possible. Voluminous requests may be delayed. The public body will make every reasonable effort to assist in identifying the record.

Within 15 business days from receipt, the public body must provide access, deny the request, or state that added time is needed. That is a statutory rule under Delaware law. Costs may apply for copying and staff time. Requestors can indicate a maximum cost they are willing to pay by writing in a limit on the form. Under Delaware's FOIA, a FOIA request itself may be deemed a public record subject to disclosure. That means the fact of the request and the content may become public.
