Hi Sam

 

Your comments are noted.

 

The price I gave you is the maximum amount it would cost however it may
not take this long.

 

I have read through and attached the Ministry of Justice Charging
Guidelines.  It is noted they advise the first hour is free but after that
the charge is $38.00 per half hour for staff time.

 

I originally quoted from Council’s fees and charges.  Using our fees, with
the first 15 minutes being free, the charge for 2 hours is $96.25 (staff
time).  Using the Ministry of Justice charges it would be $76.00.

 

However in addition to this it is appropriate for Council to charge for
photocopying in excess of 20 pages.  The estimate given was not broken
down into staff time and photocopying.  My estimate given also includes
photocopying.  Again I have given you the maximum amount we would charge
for photocopying.

 

The information you have requested involves the search and retrieval of
information, collating, photocopying and transcribing. I therefore confirm
the maximum amount we would charge for this information is $96.25
including staff time and photocopying.

 

Regards Linda

     Linda,

    

     Please do not proceed on this basis. I do not consider such a

     charge to be reasonable, and will be writing to the Office of the

     Ombudsmen raising my concerns.
