I need a record from my town
You do not need to know the law, the form, or the filing system. You need the right office and a clear sentence. Start here and we will get you to the person who holds it.
Clearwater Association of Municipal Records Officers
Somebody has to be able to find it.
CAMRO is the professional association for the clerks and records officers of Clearwater's municipalities. We certify them, train them, and stand behind them when a public records request lands on a desk that has never seen one before.

Chapter 42 · five business days
A request is a deadline, not a favour.
The Clearwater Public Records Act gives a municipality five business days to respond, extendable once by ten. In a town of 1,200 people the clerk who owes that response is also the elections official, the licensing desk and the minute-taker.
CAMRO exists because that clerk should not have to work it out alone. We publish the model response letters, we run the training that keeps a denial from becoming a lawsuit, and we answer the phone.

HB 1149 would put council members' text messages under the Act.
CAMRO supports the clarity and has told the committee what implementation will actually cost a town with one full-time employee. Read where the bill stands.
