Mr. Olear and Mr Desomma:
“The actual cost is the cost of the material only”
Please read the following from the government records council:
Please read the following Herald News article from
2009. If towns in Sussex County were
charging between 35 and 50 cents in 2009, it seems out of the ordinary for you
to charge $46 today.
“Audio recordings vary in
availability and cost in several of the smaller towns in the county, but most
towns said a CD of a meeting would cost between 35-50 cents.”
Chatham lists the cost for an audio
CD at $1.79 on its OPRA request form. That seems like one of the higher charges
for a CD (in the absence of your $46 charge).
If
you want to violate the Open Public Records Act, I will pay the $46 for the CD. And then I will file
a complaint with the Government Records Council seeking a refund for excessive
charges.
Please tell me how you would like to
receive the deposit. Who should it be
written to and for what amount?
Ryan Curioni
