Commission establishes copying fees
By Juli Warren
Staff writer
County commissioners yesterday passed a resolution setting uniform charges for copies of county records
County employees have charged for photocopies in the past, but the resolution makes the charges uniform, said Patty Jaimes, county clerk.
Warren Rhodes, county commissioner, said the charges were based on costs of labor and materials.
"We wanted to get a uniform rate set, plus we wanted people to know that these records were public information," Rhodes said.
Officials said they couldn't estimate how many requests were received for copies, but Rhodes said it was a small amount.
Charges range from 10 cents a page for copies that the requester makes on county equipment to a $75 flat fee, plus up to $200 an hour for computer printouts of mainframe computer records in inactive files.
Beverly Votaw, control clerk, said records that would require using the mainframe computer for retrieval included voter registration lists.
Running the program and printing the list takes about 90 minutes, Votaw said.
Jaimes said voter registration lists could be produced by certain boundaries, such as city limits or school district.
People still may get up to three free photocopies of records in active county files on real estate or property taxes.
Jaimes said this exemption would accommodate participants in the Homestead Act, a program for persons with low income and for senior citizens that refunds their personal property on real estate taxes.
Copies of certain records must be sent to state officials under provisions of that program, Jaimes said.
Rhodes said the media would not be charged for materials distributed at meetings, for example, but would be charged for records that required computer retrieval.
In other action, the commission proclaimed March 15-21 Agriculture
Rhodes said officials would have a ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Thursday at the north end of South Park in recognition of farming.
A balloon will be released for each year of Kansas' 125 years of statehood. Some balloons will contain tickets for cash awards of up to $5, Rhodes said.
