If access to the records is denied by the district, providing suggestions as to how the public may overcome the practical basis for denying access.

Subsection A., hereinabove, shall be deemed satisfied if the district is unable to identify the requested information after having made a reasonable effort to do so.

The requirement of this Section 2.12.070 shall not apply to the district if the district:

A.

Makes the records available pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Chapter; or

B.

Denies the request for records based solely on an exemption set forth in Section 2.12.040 of this chapter or listed in Section 6254 of the Government Code; or

C.

Makes an index of its records available to the public.
