Tennessee Open Records Policy
It is the policy and intent of the City of Dyersburg to:
- Comply with Tennessee’s Open Records Law (C.P.A. § 10-7-504 et se.) by permitting the inspection
and copying of the public records of the City of Dyersburg.
- Provide access to the City of Dyersburg's public records, and copies of those records, to public
officials charged with legislative and administrative duties under the city's charter or municipal
code, and other county, state and federal officials.
Each department head shall be responsible for carrying out this policy. While requests for the
inspection and copying of public records of the City of Dyersburg shall be handled by the open
records coordinator as expeditiously as possible, each department head shall also have the
responsibility to:
- Preserve the confidentiality of public records that are confidential under the Tennessee Open
Records Law (C.P.A. 10-7-504 et se.).
- Protect public records from damage or disorganization.
- Balance the allocation of personnel to records inspection and copying duty against the
prevention of excessive interference with other essential functions of the city.
