Public Information Request

The City of Holden provides the following ways for you to submit your public information request.

Hand Delivery or Mail

You may either mail, email, or hand deliver any Public Information request to City Hall. The City Clerk is the custodian of records for all records requests with the exception of police department records.  

Please address your request as "Records Request". Include detailed information so a reasonable person would be able to identify the specific records you wish. Include dates, names, addresses, type of record, and specific time period.  The City has the right to charge research time (at the lowest employee hourly rate qualified to do this research) PLUS .10 cents per copy. Any Private, Personal Information (PPI) will be redacted by the custodian.  An incomplete request might say: Give me all records regarding the building on Main Street; a complete request would be: I request all codes violations between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024 for the property located at 100 Main Street. 

Mail or hand-deliver:  101 West 3rd, Holden, MO 64040

Email request to:  Cityclerk@Holdenmo.gov for all records NOT police department records.  

For Police Department Records, Assistant Chief Pete Weiss is the Custodian of Records. If you have a police department records request, please email pweiss@holdenmo.gov
