Public Records Request

How to Request a Record Under the Government Records Access & Management Act (GRAMA)

If you would like copies of records possessed by Vernal City you must submit a written GRAMA request. You can access the form now (PDF) or at City Hall and must be submitted to the City Recorder by mail, email or fax.

Every person has the right to inspect a public record free of charge, and the right to receive a copy of a record during normal working hours after paying a reasonable fee.
