This Denver page is a request workflow, not broad record discovery
The useful starting point is a known Denver record and the department likely to maintain it. That differs from a broad search across every record family in the City and County.
Colorado open-government guidance explains access and exceptions, but the Denver department remains the custodian that must search for the file.
Preserve clarifications, fee estimates and the final response. Those steps can change the effective request scope and are part of the evidence trail.

Denver clarifications can materially narrow a CORA search
A Denver department may ask for a shorter date range, a clearer address or a more specific file description before it can search efficiently. Record the clarification because the final response applies to that revised scope.
If a fee estimate changes the requested format or volume, retain that decision too. It explains why the produced set may differ from the original wording.
