Second, the special master concluded that notes created by an investigator were public records pursuant to R.C. 149.43(A), and the Township's failure to provide the notes in response to requesters' public records requests was a violation of R.C. 149.43(B). The special master recommended that defendant's motion to dismiss be denied, and requesters' claim be granted with respect to the investigator's notes.
