(a) Inspections.
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this regulation, the custodian should generally make public records available for inspection by an applicant without demanding a written request.
(2) The custodian must require a written request if the custodian reasonably believes that:
(i) The applicant is a party (or acting on behalf of a party) in litigation with either the WSSC or a WSSC employee; or
(ii) The Act, or any other law, may prevent the disclosure of the record to the applicant; or
(iii) A written request will materially assist the custodian in responding to the request; or
(iv) The request may involve more than $100.00 in employee costs to search for and prepare the requested records, or more than $100.00 in reproduction costs.
(b) Copies. If the applicant requests a copy of any public record, the custodian may require a written request from that applicant.
(c) Transcripts. Any request for a transcript of a WSSC meeting or WSSC public hearing shall be in writing. (L 07-01 § 5)
