OAG 78-231 is cited to support the principle that a public agency is not required to create a document that does not already exist. This decision follows the reasoning in OAG 78-231, which establishes that the Open Records Act does not empower the Attorney General to order the creation of records or to declare the absence of such records a violation of the Act.
OAG 78-231 was Followed by 96-ORD-139
