When a citizen makes a request for copies, is the citizen required to retrieve the records from the records custodians office?
No, if a requestor requests that the records be mailed to him/her, the records custodian is required to mail the records after the requestor pays the cost of delivering the records. • If a requestor requests to inspect records and after inspection decides that he/she wants copies of some, but not all of the records inspected, is the requestor required to pay a labor fee that includes all of the time that it took to prepare the records for inspection? No. In situations where the requestor only requests copies of a portion of the records inspected, he/she can only be charged a labor fee that is proportional to the time that it took to produce the records for which copies are being requested.
