  • Not found: FOIA procedures and written public summary posted

    The Record Request page says the authority holds no 9-1-1 records and sends requesters to Grand Rapids and Kent County; it posts no procedures or summary. The second reading (the site's page sitemap and its downloads, which are agendas and minutes) found none. The project's robots checker cannot reach kent911.org's robots.txt (certificate failure), so the site was read in the built-in browser.
