- Read Chapter 5
- Answer the following questions:
- Pick a local (NYC) (rather than state or federal) government.
1a. Find their FOIL procedure (Freedom of Information Law).
- What department or employee is responsible for carrying out the request?
- Can the form be downloaded on the agency’s website? If not, what is the procedure?
- Can the form be submitted electronically via email, if not, state why not and mention the challenge here- remember this is about transparency in government and there are still agencies that have not provided this important feature to the public which in effect creates barriers to information.
- Once the form is submitted how is the form sent to the relevant department from which you’ve requested information- if they’re not specific about this I want you to call the agency to clarify- how much time is required for the department to fulfill your request? Under what conditions do the time frames need to be extended?
- Is the form specific about providing you with guidance for finding the information you need?
- Does the procedure or policy have a fee? How is the fee structured is there a fee per page? For oversized documents?
- Scientific management is about process and quality improvements to find that one best way of delivering a product or service. Do you see scientific management playing here? Why/why not? Explain where do you see issues or problems with this procedural?
