COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE AMENDMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Council amend the Comprehensive Fee Schedule, as amended, to
establish consistent citywide fees for the reproduction of copies pursuant to the
Public Records Act; and to eliminate the fee charged for research in various
Departments.
BACKGROUND:
In review of the Comprehensive Fee Schedule the fees charged for the
reproduction of copies are not consistent citywide. In order to maintain congruency
in charges it is recommended that the Council amend the Comprehensive Fee
Schedule to approve the charge of .10 per copy. The following Departments are
impacted by the change. Building, City Clerk, Engineering and Police.
Additionally, the Public Records Act has been modified to prohibit charging fees for
research; it does, however, require each Department to assist members of the
public with defining what they are seeking. The following Departments are
impacted by the change: Airport, Engineering, Planning and Right-of-Way.
The proposed Resolution outlines specific charges impacted by the change.
