Public records.

(1)

To the extent the cost the Borough actually incurs for duplication exceeds the foregoing rate,[1] the person requesting the documents shall be charged the actual cost the Borough incurs for such copies. For example, if the documents are sent to an off-site facility for copying, the actual charges incurred to the Borough will be levied.

[1]

Editor's Note: The “foregoing rates” refer to the fees for photocopies included in Subsection A.

(2)

When the nature, format, manner of collation or volume of records to be inspected, examined or copied are such that the record cannot be reproduced by ordinary document copying equipment and ordinary business size or involves extraordinary expenditure of time and effort or if the medium requested is not one the Borough normally maintains, in addition to the actual cost of duplicating the record, a special service charge shall be levied equal to the cost the Borough incurs for providing the copies.

(3)

Prior to a request being processed that requires special handling, the Borough Clerk shall advise the requestor of such costs, and the records shall not be reproduced unless the requestor agrees to pay the costs.

Redemption calculations.

(1)

Tax sale certificate redemption calculations. In accordance with N.J.S.A. 54:5-54, the Tax Collector shall provide to any person entitled to redeem a certificate pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:5-54 two calculations of the amount required for redemption within a calendar year at no cost. For each subsequent calculation requested from the Tax Collector, there shall be a fee of $50. A request for a redemption calculation shall be made in writing to the Tax Collector.

(2)

Tax lien redemption calculations. In accordance with N.J.S.A. 54:5-97.1, the Tax Collector may charge a lienholder of a tax lien $50 for the calculation of the amount due to redeem the tax lien as required pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:5-97.1. Neither the Tax Collector nor the municipality shall be liable for an incorrect calculation. The fee paid to the municipality shall not become part of the lien and shall not be passed on to any party entitled to redeem pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:5-54.
