    Persons making a request for copies of public records must pay any applicable copying fee.  No fees shall be charged for the first 50 pages or black and white, letter or legal sized copies.  After the first 50 pages of black and white, letter or legal sized copies, there shall be a fee of 5 cents per page.

    In addition to copying fees, persons making a request for a commercial purpose as defined in FOIA, must pay a fee of $10 for each hour spent by personnel in searching for and retrieving the record.  However, no fees shall be charged for the first eight hours spent by personnel in searching for or retrieving a requested record.  Whenever the District charges any fees to a requester making a commercial request, the Freedom of Information Officer shall provide the requester with an accounting of all fees, costs, and personnel hours in connection with the request for public records.
