Where appellant, who had submitted a Sunshine Law request to a city for documents connected with allegations of criminal conduct by a police officer, challenged the denial of his request to view an unredacted copy of the relevant report, the city properly filed a petition under Section 610.027 to determine the scope of the appropriate exemptions and redactions, and the trial court did not err in conducting a hearing, but the judgment is reversed and remanded in part because the court erred in declining to consider the appellant’s request for attorney fees and costs.
Judgment is affirmed in part; reversed; remanded.
