§ 2-214. Administrative charges for copying.

There shall be a charge of $0.15 per page for standard legal or letter size copies of public records, and a charge of $0.20 for a double-sided page. A charge of $1.00 shall be assessed for all certified copies. In addition to the actual cost of materials and supplies, a special service charge will be assessed for providing information when the nature or volume of the records requested requires extensive clerical or supervisory assistance by city employees. For the purpose of this section, the term "extensive" means that it will take more than 15 minutes to locate, review for confidential information, copy and refile the requested material. The special service charge will be computed to the nearest quarter of an hour exceeding 15 minutes based on the current rate of pay for the pay grade of the person who would normally perform clerical services for the city for the retrieval, copying and dissemination of the particular records at issue. The special service charge will be assessed regardless of the number of individual copies made. The city may also charge for the cost of mailing the requested records, including the cost of the envelope.
