Dear Mr. Marini: 

RE: 

Peninsula Township FOIA Response – Partial Grant, Partial 

Denial 

Our office represents Peninsula Township (the “Township”), and we are writing on behalf 

of the Peninsula Township FOIA Coordinator. This letter is in response to your Michigan 

Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) request for records received by the Township on 

April 6, 2026. MCL 15.235(1) (“A written request made by . . . electronic mail . . . is not 

received by a public body’s FOIA coordinator until 1 business day after the electronic 

transmission is made”). The Township understands that you have technically submitted 

this request twice. While the Township initially responded to your first submission of this 

request via email, this correspondence serves as a formal FOIA response to both FOIA 

requests. You requested: 

1. Full CAMA Building Detail Worksheets: The complete itemized cost-calculation

sheets for the 2024 and 2025/2026 tax years. This must include the "base

math" prior to multipliers, specifically the manual page rates, square foot base

rates, and line-item "plus adjustments" or "refinements" used for the Class B/C

valuation.

2. Specific Manual Reference Pages: Copies of the specific pages from the State

Tax Commission (STC) Assessor’s Manual referenced to determine the base costs

for this property. The "Top-Level" Property Base Cards you provided are only part

of the initial request from yesterday. Without the "Building Cost Detailed

2

Worksheet", i.e., the internal math the township used for calculations of my 

property assessment, I cannot verify the details of your assessment. 

 

3. Neighborhood ECF and Land Studies: The 2024 and 2025 Economic Condition 

Factor (ECF) analysis and Land Value studies for my specific neighborhood code. 

 

4. Component Audit: The specific line-item breakdown for the Additions/Adjustments 

applied in the 2024 and 2025/2026 tax years. 

 

Your request is granted, in part, as to existing, non-exempt public records 

within the Township’s possession falling within the scope of the request that 

are sufficiently described to allow the Township to locate responsive records. 

The Township has already provided you with certain records that are responsive to your 

request, but they have additionally been attached herein for your reference as a part of 

this FOIA Response. 

 

As for the partial denial, part of your request is denied because certain records requested 

in your FOIA request do not exist. MCL 15.235(5)(b). Specifically, the requested records 

related to request #2 and request #4 do not exist under the description provided by you 

or under any other name reasonably known to the Township. See Id. Enclosed, please find 

a Certificate of No Public Records to that effect that details what specific requested 

records do not exist. (Enclosure #1). 

 

The Township is dedicated to ensuring that you receive all the records that are 

responsive to your request and the Township strictly complies with the pro-disclosure 

nature of the FOIA. The Township is unable to produce the specific manual pages within 

request #2 because the Township does not know what specific manual pages are used 

when determining the base costs for the property. The software utilized by the Township 

incorporates the pricing components of the 2025 Michigan Assessor’s Manual. This 

eliminates the need for assessors to draw upon page-by-page analysis and hand computed 

mathematics. As a result, the Township has no knowledge of the specific pages of the 

manual the pricing components come from because the formula is integrated into the 

software. The Michigan Assessor’s Manual can be accessed free of charge on the State 

Tax Commission’s website, at the following link: 

 https://www.michigan.gov/treasury/local/stc/accordion/pubs/michigan-assessor-manuals 

 

Further, in regard to request #2, the FOIA does not apply to software, and thus the 

Township’s software is not a public record within the scope of the FOIA. The FOIA 

defines software in the following manner:

3

 

"Software" means a set of statements or instructions that when 

incorporated in a machine usable medium is capable of causing a machine 

or device having information processing capabilities to indicate, perform, 

or achieve a particular function, task, or result. Software does not include 

computer-stored information or data, or a field name if disclosure of that 

field name does not violate a software license. MCL 15.232(j). 

 

MCL 15.232(i) further states that a “[p]ublic record does not include computer 

software.” In this case, the Township is using a set of statements regarding your property 

to have a machine process that information to complete the task of determining the base 

costs of your property. Thus, under the plain meaning of the statute, the Township does 

not possess or maintain a public record that can be disclosed to you under request #2. 

 

Similarly, regarding request #4, the Township does not possess or maintain a document 

that has the specific line-item breakdown for the additions applied in the 2024, and 

2025/2026 tax years. Although the Township does not have an existing public record that 

contains the specific line-item breakdown of additions applied in 2024 and 2025/2026 tax 

years, that information may be found from the record cards and valuation statements that 

have been provided to you (and attached herein), or from materials that are currently 

available on the Township’s website. You can access the Township’s EFC Analysis for 

2026 Assessments and Land Value Analysis for 2026 Assessments at the following link: 

https://www.peninsulatownship.com/assessing1.html (see the last two bullet points on the 

list of forms). 

 

Please note that under the FOIA, the Township is not required to make a compilation, 

summary, or report of information, nor does it require the Township to create a new 

public record to satisfy a FOIA request under request #4, which further supports denying 

your request for a line-item breakdown for the additions applied in the 2024, and 

2025/2026 tax years. MCL 15.233 (4) and (5). As stated above, that information is located 

across different records that have been provided to you or may be found online. 

 

The Township has compiled, reviewed, and prepared the records within the 

Township’s possession that are responsive to your FOIA Request at no cost to 

you, and they have been attached herein as Enclosure #2. Please note that the 

Township reserves the right to charge FOIA fees for future requests as provided in MCL 

15.234.

4

To the extent your request has been denied, you are entitled under MCL 15.240 to 

appeal to the Peninsula Township Board or commence an action in the circuit court to 

compel disclosure of the requested records if you believe they were wrongfully withheld 

from disclosure. If, after judicial review, the court determines that the Township has not 

complied with MCL 15.235 in this denial and orders disclosure of all or a portion of a 

public record, you have the right to receive attorneys’ fees and damages as provided in 

MCL 15.240, a copy of which is enclosed (Enclosure #2). Please refer to MCL 15.240a 

regarding a FOIA requestor’s ability to appeal FOIA fees. 

 

If you have any questions about the content of this letter and response, you may contact 

the undersigned. Please find a copy of the Township’s FOIA Procedures and Guidelines 

and its Written Public Summary of the same online here:

CERTIFICATE OF NO PUBLIC RECORDS 

 

On behalf of Peninsula Township’s FOIA Coordinator, I hereby certify that the Township 

has made a good faith effort to identify the public records requested in your FOIA 

request. You requested, in relevant part: 

 

Specific Manual Reference Pages: Copies of the specific pages from the State 

Tax Commission (STC) Assessor’s Manual referenced to determine the base costs 

for this property. The "Top-Level" Property Base Cards you provided are only part 

of the initial request from yesterday. Without the "Building Cost Detailed 

Worksheet", i.e., the internal math the township used for calculations of my 

property assessment, I cannot verify the details of your assessment. 

 

Component Audit: The specific line-item breakdown for the Additions/Adjustments 

applied in the 2024 and 2025/2026 tax year 

 

I hereby certify that the Township was unable to locate any responsive public records to 

this portion of your Michigan Freedom of Information Act request. As such, your request 

for the above is denied because the requested public records do not exist under the 

name provided by you or under any other name reasonably known to the Township. 

MCL 15.235(5)(b).

ENCLOSURE 3

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (EXCERPT)

Act 442 of 1976

15.240 Options by requesting person; appeal; actions by public body; receipt of written

appeal; judicial review; civil action; venue; de novo proceeding; burden of proof; private

view of public record; contempt; assignment of action or appeal for hearing, trial, or

argument; attorneys' fees, costs, and disbursements; assessment of award; damages.

Sec. 10. (1) If a public body makes a final determination to deny all or a portion of a request, the

requesting person may do 1 of the following at his or her option:

(a) Submit to the head of the public body a written appeal that specifically states the word "appeal" and

identifies the reason or reasons for reversal of the denial.

(b) Commence a civil action in the circuit court, or if the decision of a state public body is at issue, the

court of claims, to compel the public body's disclosure of the public records within 180 days after a public

body's final determination to deny a request.

(2) Within 10 business days after receiving a written appeal pursuant to subsection (1)(a), the head of a

public body shall do 1 of the following:

(a) Reverse the disclosure denial.

(b) Issue a written notice to the requesting person upholding the disclosure denial.

(c) Reverse the disclosure denial in part and issue a written notice to the requesting person upholding the

disclosure denial in part.

(d) Under unusual circumstances, issue a notice extending for not more than 10 business days the period

during which the head of the public body shall respond to the written appeal. The head of a public body shall

not issue more than 1 notice of extension for a particular written appeal.

(3) A board or commission that is the head of a public body is not considered to have received a written

appeal under subsection (2) until the first regularly scheduled meeting of that board or commission following

submission of the written appeal under subsection (1)(a). If the head of the public body fails to respond to a

written appeal pursuant to subsection (2), or if the head of the public body upholds all or a portion of the

disclosure denial that is the subject of the written appeal, the requesting person may seek judicial review of

the nondisclosure by commencing a civil action under subsection (1)(b).

(4) In an action commenced under subsection (1)(b), a court that determines a public record is not exempt

from disclosure shall order the public body to cease withholding or to produce all or a portion of a public

record wrongfully withheld, regardless of the location of the public record. Venue for an action against a local

public body is proper in the circuit court for the county in which the public record or an office of the public

body is located has venue over the action. The court shall determine the matter de novo and the burden is on

the public body to sustain its denial. The court, on its own motion, may view the public record in controversy

in private before reaching a decision. Failure to comply with an order of the court may be punished as

contempt of court.

(5) An action commenced under this section and an appeal from an action commenced under this section

shall be assigned for hearing and trial or for argument at the earliest practicable date and expedited in every

way.

(6) If a person asserting the right to inspect, copy, or receive a copy of all or a portion of a public record

prevails in an action commenced under this section, the court shall award reasonable attorneys' fees, costs,

and disbursements. If the person or public body prevails in part, the court may, in its discretion, award all or

an appropriate portion of reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and disbursements. The award shall be assessed

against the public body liable for damages under subsection (7).

(7) If the court determines in an action commenced under this section that the public body has arbitrarily

and capriciously violated this act by refusal or delay in disclosing or providing copies of a public record, the

court shall order the public body to pay a civil fine of $1,000.00, which shall be deposited into the general

fund of the state treasury. The court shall award, in addition to any actual or compensatory damages, punitive

damages in the amount of $1,000.00 to the person seeking the right to inspect or receive a copy of a public

record. The damages shall not be assessed against an individual, but shall be assessed against the next

succeeding public body that is not an individual and that kept or maintained the public record as part of its

public function.
