RE:

>>We require name and phone number for any public records request.<<

"In most states, the law does not require the individual to provide any
information, including a name or telephone number.

Colorado law allows the official custodian of any public records to make
such rules with reference to the inspection of such records as are
reasonably necessary for the protection of such records and the prevention
of unnecessary interference with the regular discharge of the duties of the
custodian or the custodian's office (CRS 24-72-203)

The City of Lakewood's policy of access to public records states that all
requests for public records shall be made in writing with the official
custodian of public records.  This means filling out a form or sending a
letter signed by the requestor.  We then have 3-7 days to fill the request,
depending on the size of the request. In practice, most requests are filled
on the spot.
