Opinion Letter No. 98-04
June 17, 1998
Monthly Outstanding Checks Reports
Monthly Outstanding Checks Reports ("Reports")
must be disclosed to the public, despite
Department of Accounting and General Services' ("DAGS")
claims that disclosure is premature, that
disclosure would be a burden to the agency, and that disclosure
would result in premature claims for
the warrant amounts, placing unnecessary demands upon DAGS' resources.
There is no exception to
disclosure under the UIPA based on claims that disclosure may be
premature, or may be a burden on
the agency, or may result in an increase in claims made upon the
agency. While the UIPA does
except from disclosure those records the disclosure of which would
result in the frustration of a
legitimate government function, the agency's ability to carry out
some legitimate government function
must be truly impaired.
