rate increase,asking if a cost analysis had been conducted.City Administrator/Clerk Kooistra
explained that other metro area communities had been surveyed regarding their rates for copies.
Council Member Bailey spoke against the rate change,as the proposed increase doubled the
current cost and might be a significant out-of-pocket expense for citizens wanting copies of open
records.Council Member McGee voiced his support for the rate increase,stating that a recent
mayor/council salary increase had been justified by an increased work load and that copy
requests from the public constituted a similar work load increase.Council Member Watts spoke
in favor of the proposed rate increase,noting City staff time spent to research and make copies of
open records.Ms.White asked if the proposed increase would apply to copies made at the
Waukee Public Library;Mr.Kooistra replied that the Library Board of Trustees set the rates
charged by the Library for copies.There was some discussion as to fees charged for copies of
City Council agenda packets.Council Member Stanton suggested posting agenda packets on the
City's website;City staff will research the matter.Council Member Bailey suggested the
resolution be amended to include different rates for copies requiring more research on the part of
City staff;City staff will look into the matter.Council Member Bailey moved to table
