Administrative Notice

Notice to Public Servants at All Levels

America's Constitutional Law Group organizes notice materials for those seeking to put public servants, public offices, agencies, clerks, recorders, municipal corporations, administrative actors, and record custodians on notice. The purpose is to state the claim, identify the office, require the record, preserve correspondence, and document the response, refusal, or silence.

Put the Office on Notice

NOTICE YOUR PUBLIC SERVANTS.

PUBLIC SERVANTS DO NOT STAND ABOVE THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED THE OFFICES.

Public office exists to serve. When an office, agency, clerk, recorder, municipal corporation, administrative actor, or public servant operates on presumption, the people are not required to remain silent.

Give notice. State the claim. Identify the office. Require the response. Preserve the mailing record. Preserve the silence. Preserve the answer.

If the office is making a record, you should be making one too.

Public Office Requires Public Accountability

A public office is not a throne.

A public servant is not a private master. Offices are created for service, recordkeeping, administration, and accountability. Notices may be directed to public servants at all levels: offices, agencies, clerks, recorders, municipal corporations, administrative actors, and record custodians.

When a claim, correction, objection, demand, notice, response period, or administrative position must be made clear, the record should show who was noticed, what was sent, when it was sent, where it was sent, and what response was received.

IF NOTICE IS REQUIRED, GIVE NOTICE. IF A RECORD IS NEEDED, MAKE THE RECORD. Do not let an office create the only record.

Many administrative conflicts are built on silence, assumption, default, and unanswered paperwork. If a presumption is being made against you, the question becomes simple: did you answer it, or did you allow it to stand?

ACLG presents public servant notice materials as a study and publication structure for preserving notices, mailing evidence, response periods, supporting documents, matter references, answers, refusals, and silence.

STATE THE CLAIM. IDENTIFY THE OFFICE. PRESERVE THE RESPONSE.

Six-Part Notice Record

State the claim, identify the office, preserve the response.

A public servant notice should show the office being noticed, the claim or correction being asserted, the response path, the mailing evidence, the answer or silence, and the public record when publication is appropriate.

Identify the Public Servant

Name the servant, office, agency, clerk, recorder, municipality, or administrative actor being noticed.

State the Claim

Use direct notice language to identify the claim, correction, objection, duty, record, or position being asserted.

Require the Record

Make clear what record, response, correction, action, or acknowledgment is being requested from the office.

Preserve Mailing Evidence

Maintain proof of delivery, mailing receipts, dates, recipients, addresses, and correspondence paths.

Track Response or Silence

Preserve the answer, refusal, non-response, administrative silence, or unanswered presumption.

Publish the Notice Record

When appropriate, preserve the notice, supporting documents, response period, and matter reference in a public-facing record.
