Opinion By: Chris Gorman, Attorney General; Amye B. Majors, Assistant Attorney General

IN RE: James J. Corbett/ Paducah Police Department

OPEN RECORDS DECISION

This matter comes to the Attorney General on appeal from the actions of the Paducah Police Department, through its records custodian, Mr. Pat Vannerson, relative to Mr. James J. Corbett's November 16, 1992, request for a number of documents in its custody. Although Mr. Vannerson agreed to release the requested documents, he advised Mr. Corbett that he would be charged $ 1.00 per page, and an additional $ 1.00 for postage. Since there are 19 pages in the file to which Mr. Corbett requested access, Mr. Vannerson advised him to send the Department $ 20.00 in advance of release of the documents.

It is Mr. Corbett's position that the $ 1.00 per page copying charge is clearly excessive. He asks that this Office issue a decision consistent with this view.

In OAG 92-79, a copy of which is attached, this Office held that a 50 per page reproduction charge for copies of public documents was excessive in view of the mandates of KRS 61.874(2). We believe that that opinion is dispositive of the present appeal. Unless the Paducah Police Department can demonstrate that the actual cost it incurrs in reproducing documents is $ 1.00 per page, it should recalculate the fee imposed to conform to the statutory requirements.

The Paducah Police Department may challenge this decision by initiating action in the appropriate circuit court pursuant to KRS 61.880(5) and KRS 61.882.

LLM Summary
The decision addresses an appeal regarding the fee charged by the Paducah Police Department for reproducing documents requested under an open records request. The department charged $1.00 per page, which the requester, Mr. Corbett, argued was excessive. Citing OAG 92-79, which found a 50 cents per page charge excessive, the decision suggests that unless the actual cost of reproduction is $1.00 per page, the fee should be recalculated to conform to statutory requirements.
