[Ord. No. 2002-13 § I]
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5c, whenever the nature, format,
manner of collation, or volume of a public record embodied in the
form of printed matter to be inspected, examined, or copied pursuant
to the above referenced statute is such that the record cannot be
reproduced by ordinary document copying equipment in ordinary business
size or involves an extraordinary expenditure of time and effort to
accommodate the request, in addition to the actual cost of duplicating
the record, a special service charge of $20 per hour for the time
that a municipal employee is required to devote to the request shall
be charged. An estimated total charge shall be given to the requestor
prior to preparing the copies so that the requestor shall have the
opportunity to review and object to the charge. If during the copying
effort, it appears that the estimate given to the requestor will be
exceeded by more than 25%, a revised estimate shall be given and opportunity
to review and object provided before the copying effort is continued.
