§ 232-1. Photocopy fees.

The following fees shall pertain to copies of all public records, reports and documents for which no other fee has been prescribed by law:

A. 

Each page (8 1/2 x 11 or smaller): $0.05 per page.

B. 

Each page (8 1/2 x 14 or larger): $0.07 per page.

C. 

Photographs will be copied at the per-page rates established herein. If requests are made for duplicate photographs, the actual cost of making the photographs shall be charged.

D. 

Administration costs in the event of mailing: actual costs of postage and envelope.

E. 

Videotapes: the actual costs of duplication of videotapes.

F. 

Electronic records. Access to electronic records and nonprinted material shall be provided free of charge. If a request for duplicate electronic records and nonprinted materials is made, then the actual costs of needed supplies, such as computer discs, shall be charged.

G. 

Whenever the nature, format, manner of collation or volume of a record embodied in the form of printed material to be inspected, examined or copied is such that the record cannot be reproduced by ordinary, municipally owned document-copying equipment in ordinary business size or involves an extraordinary expenditure of time and effort to accommodate the request, then the actual costs of duplicating the record along with a service charge shall be charged. In order to determine the amount of the service charge, the City Clerk shall estimate the number of hours to be expended by municipal employees in copying, collating and/or otherwise assembling the requested records. That total number of hours then shall be multiplied by an hourly rate. The hourly rate shall be equivalent to the Deputy Clerk's then-existing weekly gross salary divided by 40. The requestor shall have the opportunity to review and object to the charges to be charged under this subsection prior to the charges being incurred.
