00-364 Items removed from the Consent Agenda for Board consideration
and action.
1. Photocopy Charges - the Auditor-Controller has conducted
an analysis of cost recovery for copies of routine
documents within the County, and recommends the charge be
set at $0.25 for the first copy and $0.06 for each page
thereafter. It is further recommended that the charge be
reviewed every three years, or at any time the County
changes the service contracts for copier services.

setting these charges is by minute order. A public
hearing and/or fee ordinance is not required for charges
of this nature. The copy fees addressed by this action
are separate from service fees, which are established by
resolution and/or ordinance. This recommendation also
does not include specialized copies (i.e. maps,
construction documents, large document reproductions,
color reproductions, or specialized documents) - action
requested - ACCEPT ANALYSIS OF THE AUDITOR-CONTROLLER
