Request #9062
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the City’s unclaimed property or open records laws, I would like to request a list of all the uncashed (stale-dated) checks or warrants for all outstanding dollar amounts that are older than 6 months and any other checks that are considered unclaimed property, that Garden Grove, CA might be holding which is not otherwise exempt from public disclosure.
Please also let me know how often this list is updated, so we know how often we should request a new list and how we go about getting any checks we may find on the list reissued.
