Every effort is made to keep all fees at or below cost with most FOIA fees being below $25. The City will, however, charge reasonable fees as permissible by law and reserves the right to reduce or waive fees when the action is acting within the best interests of the public.
Fees are dependant on research time, length, and redaction. Should the anticipated research, duplication, or redaction time be excessive, the City has the right to request a partial payment in advance of the work being completed.
The Michigan Freedom of Information Act allows five business days to respond to a request with an additional ten business days permitted as an extension.
Some typical fees are:
Commonly searched documents $5.00
Audio tape duplication $5.00
Video tape duplication $20.00
Diskette listing all registered voters $5.00
Printout of all registered voters $90.00
Please include any comments or questions if applicable. |
