DEROSE <br />January 4, 2005 ~.IiIEFASSISTANTCITYATTORNEY <br />President, South Bend Common Council <br />4`I' Floor, County-City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Re: Revision to Section 2-210(a) <br />Dear Ms. Pfeifer: <br />The attached Ordinance is an amendment to some existing charges along with a number of <br />additional charges for services and documents the City may supply. <br />The first change is the amount due for motor vehicle accident reports is raised to $5.00. This <br />is a closer reflection of the accurate cost. I.C. 9-29-11-1(a) provides that $3.00 is a minimum fee <br />which the City may charge. <br />The motor vehicle inspection and the rebuilt salvage inspection has been combined at a <br />uniform fee. The vast majority of such inspections are performed at the police station. <br />LC. 10-13-3-30 provides fees for processing a request for an inspection and, a release of a <br />limited criminal history in the mandated amounts of $3.00 and $7.00 respectively. I.C. 10-13-3-31 <br />provides a reasonable fee should be charged to the subject of the limited criminal history. <br />I.C. 10-13-4-12(a) authorizes certain persons to receive a juvenile history for a reasonable <br />fee. <br />The amount that can be charged for public records requests is set at the amount of copy costs <br />by I.C. 5-14-3, these low limits do not apply to all requests for documents. For non-public record <br />documents, we may charge the actual processing costs. For example, this would apply to documents <br />requested by court subpoenas. <br />There is no obligation to mail materials requested for public records. However, we <br />frequently have requests for such documents, particularly from people who live out of town. Such <br />persons might be willing to pay for this service, and of course payment would have to made in <br />advance. <br />THOMAS L. BODNAR CHERYL A. GREENE ANN-CAROL NASH ~ ~I <br />JEFFREY M.
