Mr.
Desomma,
The price you estimate is excessive
and is not in line with the Open Public Records Act. I would still like the CD but am unwilling to
pay $45.95 plus tax. If you do not have
the equipment to copy the audio of your public meetings, maybe you can have
another HUD office do it for you.
From page 22 of the link below
(Citizens guide to Open Public Records Act):
“Custodians must charge the actual
cost to provide access to all other electronic materials such as CD-ROMs, DVDs,
videotapes, audiotapes, etc. No specific calculation is required to determine
the actual cost of these supplies. The actual cost is the specific fee the
agency paid to purchase the materials. For
example, if the GRC purchased a package of 100 CD-ROMs for $100 and provided
records to a requestor on 1 CD-ROM, the actual cost of said CD-ROM is $1.00
($100 ÷ 100 = $1.00).”
