Public Records Survey

Many of our municipalities are experiencing increasingly greater burdens when it comes to public records requests. There has been much discussion about potential legislation to address these growing concerns. As part of the dialogue, the question has arisen regarding what our membership charges for producing information pursuant to a public records request.

We are attempting to compile this information and we need to know what your fee schedule is for the dissemination of public records, including: making hard copies, printing/copying electronic communications, and creating CD’s or flash drives containing information.

Please provide this information and/or a copy of your municipality’s fee schedule to Karen White at kwhite@lma.org. You may also fax a copy to her attention at (225) 336-5277. If you would like a copy of the compiled results from all respondents, please indicate the same in your response.

Thank you in advance for your participation!
