Mr. Rouse Page 2 October 20, 2008 Limited Criminal History is another area controlled by statute.. While I.C. 10- 13 -3 -30 sets the specific amounts for two of the three categories, I.C. 10- 13 -3 -31 only says that the fee for the subject of the Criminal History should be "reasonable." Although a higher amount might be justified, it probably would probably not be reasonable to charge the subject more for his or her Limited Criminal History than a stranger would be charged for it. Since the postage was not generally put on after the package /envelope was sent to a central location, it was not possible to bill for the exact postage. The revised Item 18 is based upon an average cost. Last year the State of Indiana for the first time made available a lifetime handgun license. The $50.00 fee is allowed in that statute. The refund applies only if the license is denied. The CPAT testing that is offered to other Fire Departments has been increased. It has been four years since this fee was checked and the labor costs involved have risen by approximately 9 %. I have been advised that we have never sold copies of fingerprints. However, we do occasionally fingerprint individuals, but we have not established a charge. The amount set is based upon the fact that it takes approximately 1/3 of an hour for a police officer to take the fingerprints and also covers the cost of materials used. The final item are signs which the Police Department makes up when requested for individuals or businesses concerning trespassing. These are not subject to the public records statute and differ in price according to our cost. I will be the primary representative at any hearing in presenting this Ordinance to the Council.
