The following Kentucky Attorney General Open Records Decisions were issued last week:
1. 20-ORD-100 (In re: Leonard Slaughter/Lexington Fayette Urban County Government)
Summary: Lexington Fayette Urban County Government did not violate the Open Records Act when it timely produced the requested records for inspection even though it initially claimed that a request imposed an unreasonable burden. LFUCG did not subvert the intent of the Act in producing email "chains." This Office is unable to resolve disputes regarding perceived disparity in records produced in response to a request.

2. 20-ORD-101 (In re: Roy Jackson/Northpoint Training Center)
Summary: Northpoint Training Center did not violate the Open Records Act by denying an inmate's request to inspect records in-person during the Covid-19 state of emergency. The Act does not require the Center to provide an inmate a copy of his medical file free of charge.
