SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the following modification (see Section VI) of the fee
schedule now used by the Sheriff-Coroner ' s Dept. in charging for
records and certain services.
Ir. FINANCIAL IMPACT
This modified fee schedule makes only minor adjustments for most
items and with respect to those is expected to have little or no
impact on revenue. Increased charges for providing copies of
incident reports and vehicle accident"reports are expected to
increase revenue by approximately $12=15 ,000/annum.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION ;
This fee schedule was last modified by the Board on November 4,
1981. Since that time the cost of providing the service covered
has increased.
IV. BACKGROUND
The Sheriff-Corner' s Department creates/maintains on file a great
many incident reports, accident reports and other documents .
Access to and copies of these records is requested by involved
parties , insurance companies and crime victims. The Public Records
Act generally requires that such records be made available and
permits charging the direct cost of duplication or a statutory fee.
The fee schedule recommended will more closely align the revenue
from meeting the legal, requirements with the cost of doing so.
V. CONSEQUENCE'S' OF' NEGATIVE' ACTION:
Negative action will cause revenue to remain at its current level
which is less than the cost of providing the required services .
VI. FEE SCHEDULE
Upon recommendation of the Sheriff-Coroner IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED
that- the following fee schedule is authorized effective October'.l,
1987.
