Under the Idaho Public Records Act the agency must answer a request within 3 working days, or 10 when more time is needed, and it may charge copying after the first 100 pages and labor after the first two hours. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at oneidaid.us/how_do_i/request_public_records.php (page title: Public Records Request).
