06-ORD-096 is cited to support the principle that a public agency is not required to create new records or compile lists to satisfy an open records request, but must allow inspection of existing records that could contain the requested information. This precedent is used to justify the response given to Mr. Hamlin's request, emphasizing that the agency's obligation is limited to providing access to existing records.
