PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST

In accordance with the provisions of La. R.S. 44:32, which permits the collection of reasonable fees for copies provided pursuant to requests for public records, including the transmission of electronic copies of public records, the City of Sulphur has revised and issued the following fee schedule:

Paper or Electronic Copies:
For paper or electronic copies of records, requestors will be charged a minimum of $10.00, or $0.50 per page (whichever is greater).

Digital Storage Medium:
For productions on a digital storage medium (CD, flash drive, DVD, etc.) requestors will be charged $25.00 in addition to charges for paper or electronic copies.

Requests for Email Communication:
When a request for emails is processed, each email produced will be treated as a single copy.
When submitting such requests, please provide: 1) terms; 2) date parameters; 3) whose accounts you want searched. If, after submitting such a request, you are contacted for clarification of your request, please plan to work together with staff members of the Custodian of Records office to craft a workable, targeted search.

Payment Procedure:
Once a request is submitted and responsive documents are identified, you will be notified of the estimated cost of production. Payment must be made in advance of the production of documents by cash or money order.

Public records requests may be dismissed as a result of failure to pay costs. See La. R.S. 44:32.
