Five days to respond doesn't mean five days to conclude. Most local agencies will try to comply if they have any experience with FIOA as they don't want to pay your legal expense for same if they do not comply.

Not always true. FOIA, for federal government requests, can get extended for a few reasons, and they can can be costly if you end up having to pay for a clerks time, or the document count gets pretty high. PRA, California version, can be denied, and they too can bill you for time.
I just checked yesterday on a FOIA from DHS I requested in early December. Still don't have it, and they are not in violation of the law because they responded with proper excuses:lol:
I hope I spelled everything right
