District Policy
Prowers County Hospital District commits to making all open records available for inspection by any person at reasonable times, except as otherwise provided by law. Public records are defined by CORA as all writings made or maintained by the District, regardless of the format or medium of the records, subject to all exceptions. Public records expressly include email communications. The District backs up email messages, but email communications are not individually retrievable and are specifically not intended to create a public record. By action of the Board of Directors, the Compliance Officer is hereby designated as the official Custodian of Open Records responsible for the maintenance, care, and keeping of all open records of the District. The official Custodian of Open Records shall have authority to designate such agents as he shall determine appropriate to perform any and all acts necessary to enforce and execute the provisions of this policy. Upon receipt, requests by a citizen, entity, federal or state agency, district member, subpoena, administrative or court order, or other legal process, to inspect and/or copy any District open record (collectively referred to as a “Records Request”) should be immediately sent to the Custodian of Open Records.
