LAUREL HILL — The City Council has approved a fee schedule to obtain copies of public records.
Councilman Larry Hendren presented a resolution setting the fee schedule at last week’s council meeting after he attended a recent Florida Sunshine law seminar.
“They indicated that we should have some guidelines for public records releases,” he told fellow council members at their meeting last week.
The schedule is as follows: single-sided 8- by 14-inch copies, 15 cents; double-sided 8- by 14-inch copies, 20 cents; and color copies up to 8 by 14 inches, 20 cents.
The cost for larger sizes will be based on actual duplication costs. Certified public record copies will cost $1 plus the copy cost, and CD duplicates will cost $1.50.
Postage and handling fees also may apply.
In other business at the meeting, the council:
- Continued searching for an engineering firm to help the city apply for a Community Development Block Grant. If approved, the grant would give the city $600,000 to make road repairs.
Four companies have submitted offers for their services. Representatives from two of the companies, CDG Engineers and Mittauer & Associates, gave brief presentations at the meeting.
The council will choose a firm at its May 2 session.
- Appointed Hendren as council chairman and Clifton Hall as vice chairman.
