|
| | | A. Whether a record protected by the exception still needs | | to be collected and maintained; |
|
| | | B. The value to the agency or official or to the public in | | maintaining a record protected by the exception; |
|
| | | C. Whether federal law requires a record to be | | confidential; |
|
| | | D. Whether the exception protects an individual's privacy | | interest and, if so, whether that interest substantially | | outweighs the public interest in the disclosure of records; |
|
| | | E. Whether public disclosure puts a business at a | | competitive disadvantage and, if so, whether that business's | | interest substantially outweighs the public interest in the | | disclosure of records; |
|
| | | F. Whether public disclosure compromises the position of a | | public body in negotiations and, if so, whether that public | | body's interest substantially outweighs the public interest | | in the disclosure of records; |
|
| | | G. Whether public disclosure jeopardizes the safety of a | | member of the public or the public in general and, if so, | | whether that safety interest substantially outweighs the | | public interest in the disclosure of records; |
|
| | | H. Whether the exception is as narrowly tailored as | | possible; and |
|
| | | I. Any other criteria that assist the review committee in | | determining the value of the exception as compared to the | | public's interest in the record protected by the exception. |
