Charges/Fees: Chapter 119.07 allows the custodian of the public record to charge a reasonable fee. The charge for copies of city maps or aerial photographs supplied by city personnel may also include a reasonable charge for the labor and overhead associated with their duplication. In addition to the actual cost of duplication, the city may charge the hourly rate of the staff who performed the research/work for public records requests involving extensive clerical or supervisory assistance. (A deposit of 50% of the estimated charges shall be made by the requestor).
