Public Records

The City of Brea offers easy online access to public documents. Save a trip or call to City Hall, you can browse and search through the documents, as well as look specifically through the City’s Resolutions and Ordinances at any time. 

Currently, City Council Resolutions and Ordinances are available on line. Our goal is to work toward converting all public records for online accessibility. But until then, please check back regularly to see what has been added. To request a document that is not currently available online, or for more information, please call the City Clerk’s Office at 714-990-7756. 

To access an online document, you can either browse documents or search for a specific document by using a single word or phrase in a document.

Not online? Requesting a Public Record
The California Public Records Act (California Government Code §6250 et. seq.) provides the public with important rights to obtain access to records held by public agencies in the State. The City of Brea is committed to providing reasonable access to all public records, with the exception of those documents exempt from disclosure by express provisions of law or considered confidential or privileged under the law.

The City of Brea encourages public records requests be submitted in writing (e-mail is acceptable) in order to assist staff in responding efficiently to your request. In accordance with the Public Records Act, the City has ten calendar days to respond to any request for public documents by indicating whether or not the documents exist and/or making the documents available.

There are just four easy steps in requesting a Public Record:

Step 1: Fill out the Request for Public Records form to identify each requested record or document. Please be as specific as possible. Non-specific inquiries may cause delayed response times.

Step 2: Submit the completed form to the City Clerk’s Office via email, U.S. Postal mail or fax.

Step 3: The City Clerk’s Office staff will determine if the City has documents responsive to your request and respond to you within ten calendar days of receiving the form. You will also be informed of any reproduction charges.

Step 4: If you would like to review the original documents at the City Clerk’s Office, please contact staff to arrange an appointment time. If you would like to receive copies of the requested documents, remit the indicated reproduction fees to the City Clerk’s Office.

If you have questions about obtaining public records, please call the City Clerk’s Office at 714-990-7756.
