RE: Public Records Request for Police records
Dear Chris Gelardi,
I am in receipt of your Freedom of Information Law request, dated 7/20/2024.  Your request is being reviewed and could take up to 20 business days to be completed.
Under NYS Law, you may be charged $.25 per page for photocopying (if applicable), or other fees allowed under the Public Officers Law.  See below fee schedule:
$0.25 PER PAGE
$10.00 PER CD, DVD USB
PLEASE NOTE: Pursuant to POL Art 6 § 87(1)(c): In determining the actual cost of reproducing a record, an agency may include:
i.an amount equal to the hourly salary attributed to the lowest paid agency employee who has the necessary skill required to prepare a copy of the requested record;
ii.  the actual cost of the storage devices or media provided to the person making the request in complying with such request;
iii.  the actual cost to the agency of engaging an outside professional service to prepare a copy of a record, but only when an agency’s information technology equipment is inadequate to prepare a copy, if such service is used to prepare the copy; and
iv.  preparing a copy shall not include search time or administrative costs, and no fee shall be charged unless at least two hours of agency employee’s time is needed to prepare a copy of the record requested. A person requesting a record shall be informed of the estimated cost of preparing a copy of the record if more than two hours of an agency employee’s time is needed, or if an outside professional service would be retained to prepare a copy of the record.

Respectfully yours,
