REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
As a result of the requirements to maintain building records and
plans and the Public Record Act that requires that we make
records available for review and provide copies as required, it
has become necessary to assign one full-time individual for the
maintenance and reproduction of records. A seven month study of
our copy records has revealed that we receive approximately 15,00
requests 'for documents per year; also the number of copies being
made. per ,year is 26,400. Costs involved are: $1,500 maintenance
of machines; $900 supplies; $20,200 staffing. It is estimated
that the average number of reproductions is 18.
The Health & Safety Code and Public Records Act allows a
reasonable fee to be levied to maintain and provide the required
documents. Therefore, we feel it is reasonable to establish the
fees outlined in the attached proposed fee schedule.
