Solid Waste and Compliance Section
Public Records Request Procedure

The Solid Waste and Compliance Section have seen requests for file reviews increase substantially. Department staff process over 1000 requests for file reviews per year.

In response to the demand, and to ensure requests from the public are responded to in a timely manner, the following procedure for file review requests is effective:

1.	Staff cannot research availability of files until the Southern Nevada Health District Public Records Request Form PDF (39 KB/2 pages) has been filled out and signed.
2.	If a request is made by email, the requestor will be advised to fill out and return the Public Records Request Form by fax.
3.	After a completed and signed request form is received by Solid Waste and Compliance Section staff, it will be at least 24 hours before the public records applicable to the request will be available for review. The requestor will be notified by email, letter or phone when the records are available.
4.	Once the requestor has been notified, the public records will be available for review for 14 days. If the requester does not review the public records within 14 days, the public records will be returned and another Southern Nevada Health District Public Records Request Form must be filled out.
5.	Hours for public records review are:
		Tuesday Wednesday Thursday	9 a.m. – 11 a.m. 2 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. 9 a.m. – 11 a.m.
6.	Effective immediately all requests must be made to Diane Freeman (freeman@snhdmail.org).

Please remember, we cannot research files until we have a completed and signed Southern Nevada Health District Public Records Request Form. The hours for public records review will be strictly enforced.

Requests for public records must specify a location, i.e. an actual street address and/or an Assessors’ Parcel Number. Requests that are non-specific may require research time and may be subject to applicable fees payable in advance. Only the current and prior year’s records will be searched, unless you request records for a specific time frame.

If you have any questions regarding file reviews, please call Diane Freeman at (702) 759-0600.
