Special service charges
| |||||
|
(a)
|
Where the nature, format, manner of collation or volume of printed
matter is such that it cannot be reproduced by ordinary document copying
equipment in ordinary business size or where such record requires
an extraordinary expenditure or time and effort to accommodate a request
for inspection or copying of documents, a special service charge shall
be imposed, in addition to the actual costs of duplicating the record.
A special service charge will also be applied when the custodian changes
the medium in which the record is normally kept in order to comply
with the request.
|
$28
| ||||
|
(b)
|
The special service charge shall be paid to the Borough of Mountain
Lakes at the following rates:
| |||||
|
[1]
|
For all services performed by employees of the Borough, the
actual hourly rate of compensation for each clerical and supervisory
employee performing the service plus the copying or reproduction cost
and actual mailing cost, when applicable
| |||||
|
[2]
|
Postage will be added to the fee for records requested by mail
| |||||
|
[3]
|
All fees must be paid prior to the release of any copies. The
custodian of the records may require a deposit of all documents for
inspection where it is estimated that the records requested will cost
in excess of $5 to reproduce
| |||||
|
(c)
|
For reasons of security, the use of a floppy disk, CD, videotape
or audiotape provided by the requestor is prohibited. All electronic
reproduction materials shall be supplied by the Borough of Mountain
Lakes.
| |||||
|
(d)
|
If the request for access to a government record would substantially
disrupt municipal operation, the custodian of the records may deny
access to the records after attempting to reach a reasonable solution
with the requestor that accommodates the interests of the requestor
and the municipality.
| |||||
|
(e)
|
In the event that the requestor of the documents objects to
any charges permitted by this chapter and no resolution of the objection
may be reasonably accomplished, the custodian of records shall not
incur any charges on behalf of the Borough to fulfill the document
request.
| |||||
|
(f)
|
Nothing in this section or any other ordinance of the Borough
shall be constructed as requiring the Borough of Mountain Lakes to
furnish copies of any privileged documents or other documents which
have been determined to be exempt from the requirements of the Open
Public Records Act or otherwise nondisclosable in accordance with
any provision of law.
