[a] If more than two sheets are requested, the City will typically process the request using an outside vendor service.
[b] Fee is intended to function as a pass-through of credit card transaction vendor charge. Annual updates should be based on vendor charge.
** Periodically, the City completes a cost of service analysis for the administrative fees included in this schedule. The findings of the analysis will be
used to influence recommended administrative fees. In between cost of service studies, the City will annually identify the yearly change in the
consumer price index, and identify the fee eligible for recovery based on the change in the index. However, for the sake of administrative efficiency
the City will adjust fees in $0.05 increments (for example, when the inflation adjusted black and white copy fee is between $0.15 and $0.20 the City
will charge $0.15 per copy).
