Data Practices Research Deposit $300.00
Copies or Electronic Transmittal of more than 100 pages or Other Types of Copies = Actual
cost. Note: Fee must be paid before sending any electronic data information.
The charge for most other types of copies, when a charge is not set by statute or rule, is the actual cost of
searching for and retrieving the data, and making the copies or electronically transmitting the data (e.g.
sending the data by email or via Dropbox or similar program).
In determining the actual cost of making copies, we factor in employee time, the cost of the materials onto
which we are copying the data (paper, CD, DVD, Flash Drive, etc.), and mailing costs (if any). If your
request is for copies of data that we cannot reproduce ourselves, such as photographs, we will charge you
the actual cost we must pay an outside vendor for the copies.
The cost of employee time to search for data, retrieve data, and make copies is the current year
Administration Secretary hourly rate. If, because of the subject matter of your request, we find it
necessary for a higher-paid employee (Department Heads, Managers) to search for and retrieve the data ,
we will calculate the search and retrieval portion at their rate.
